| rdfs:comment | - Addowall is an artist community that revolves around an interactive online wall. On Addowall, anyone can obtain an “addo”—a free piece of the wall—to display any art they wish. In fact, Addowall is actually a comprehensive collection of many, interconnected walls, with a separate wall for each genre/art form.

| abstract | - Addowall is an artist community that revolves around an interactive online wall. On Addowall, anyone can obtain an “addo”—a free piece of the wall—to display any art they wish. In fact, Addowall is actually a comprehensive collection of many, interconnected walls, with a separate wall for each genre/art form. The Addowall platform allows the artist to upload an image or draw one using aPaint, its online paint program. An addo also displays information about the artist, including their name, location and website. This allows other users who like the addo to be easily directed to the artist’s website to view their other work. The position of an addo on the wall depends on its popularity. If artists like a certain addo, they have the option to “prop” it, which pushes it higher on the wall. Conversely, if they specifically do not like the addo-—i.e. if they find it offensive or unappealing etc-—they can also “drop” the addo, causing it to descend the wall. (A special algorithm calculates the addo’s position on the wall by leveling its recent popularity with its past popularity.) In this way, Addowall becomes a communal project where everyone can submit their work but only the best and most meaningful rise to the top.
