Reddit Place Double-Sided Duvet Cover Set

Designed by Josh Wardle, the Place project was a collaborative social experiment that was launched on the social networking site Reddit in April 2017 and repeated in April 2022.

The 2017 experiment involved an online canvas on a subreddit called r/place, where registered users could edit the canvas by changing the color of a single pixel instead of a 16-color palette. After each pixel was placed, a timer prevented the user from placing more pixels for a period of time ranging from 5 to 20 minutes. The experiment was terminated by Reddit administrators on April 3, 2017, approximately 72 hours after it was created. In just 72 hours, over 1 million users had edited the canvas, placing a total of approximately 16 million pixels, and by the time the experiment was over, over 90,000 users had tested it. Turkish users participated in the event, with a great display of the Turkish flag and an image of Atatürk, resulting in a beautiful piece of art.

It was announced that Reddit Place would be relaunched on March 28, 2022. It began on April 1, 2022, and lasted four days, including two expansions of the canvas to allow for more space. The color palette was also expanded on the second and third days. Unlike 2017, individual subreddits immediately began coordinating on designing pixel art, and large communities formed on Discord and Twitch to expand existing art, replace distorted pixels, and overlay new imagery on top of existing ones. As of April 3, approximately 72 million pixels had been placed by over 6 million users at a rate of over 2.5 million pixels per hour. There was also a sixfold increase in users on Reddit between the two experiments, including a 4.5x increase in pixels placed. Finally, the 2022 Place event restricted users to placing only white pixels. The entire canvas gradually filled with white space, returning to its original empty state.
