You may not know it, but for the past four days a pixel war has been raging somewhere on Reddit . It all happened on a digital mural called Place that allowed users to place a pixel from a 16-color palette onto a collaborative digital canvas. After putting a pixel the user had to wait between five and 20 minutes to be able to edit it or add a new one. The project has sparked a curious battle between users who organize themselves into communities to decorate the digital mural with motifs from their country (flags from many countries, the Eiffel Tower, maple leaves, the national coat of arms of Mexico, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz , the Statue of Liberty, among many others) and dominate the creative space.
