The tale of an online community’s attempt to draw their beloved video game console on Reddit's r/place digital canvas. They'll go up against rogue Swedish operatives, robotic legions, and one lone user just trying to make their own mark.
A micro-documentary from producer Talon Stradley.
What happens when space is limited and you have to make a choice: Destroy another’s art or let your own fade away. What would you choose?
