The Canvas event is the Fediverse’s take on the r/place event, I.E, a collaborative artwork where every participant can place down a single pixel every 30 seconds.
This limitation means the only way to assemble a larger piece of art is for people to come together in groups to collectively decide what they’ll be drawing, where it will be, and communicate with other groups working on neighboring artworks so as not to impede their efforts, or even to negotiate mutual aid treaties to help maintain each other’s art from potential hit-and-run attacks.
SLRPNK participated in 2024’s Canvas event, which @Five@slrpnk.net documented in one of our previous Monthly Meta’s.
If there are any Solarpunks interested in participating this year, this thread might be a good place to organize and collaborate :)
Here’s my quick proposal for a template (sized up 1000% so it’s more easily viewable here). It’s our website name in slightly stylized lettered using the colors from our green sun logo, combined with an orange-y sun behind it. It’s 28x26 pixels large, which should make it pretty manageable for us to achieve.
I drew it using the free and open-source Pixelorama tool (which is available on all platforms). If anyone wants to try editing or adding to it, here’s the original size:
I’ll be quite busy with something else tomorrow, but maybe I can add a few pixels now and then. Does the Fediauth work with Lemmy?
Yes, I checked yesterday. It seemed to have worked. I got a DM with the otp and after typing it in, I got authentication.
