Google’s ‘This Exquisite Forest’ is building interactive videos, eight frames at a time

Ever play that writing game where one person builds on the last person’s sentence, passing the paper around in a circle? The Exquisite Corpse, as the game turns out to be called, forms the foundation of a new collaborative video art project from Google (in partnership with London’s Tate Modern art gallery) called This Exquisite Forest. Each participant builds on what the previous artist did, adding a few frames of animation; a cycle that ultimately results in a multi-branched choose-your-own-video experience (video below).
