The Sheep Market

The Sheep Market" by Aaron Koblin is a series of 10,000 simple images of sheep drawn by online workers. In style the sheep range from the hard to decipher drawings to the extremely detailed. The sheep were drawn in a program by Amazon called Amazon Mechanical Turk. The sheep may represent its caretaker in real life, the Sheppard can either be foolish or wise, and thus I believe is the point in the art. Sheep characterize its Sheppard, just like, for instance, a Football team characterizes its Coach.
The Sheep Market is a net art. It takes the newest capabilities of internet based systems and uses them competently to make art.
To me this is an impressive piece of art, and you can easily get lost in the art and all the different Sheeps that are on the piece. I think it’s enjoyable to look at all the different combinations of different artist portrayals of the animal.
