This Exquisite Forest Built on Google's App Engine

  This Exquisite Forest is an artistic aesthetic experience where technology has superceded the boundary of distance. The forest, which is a collaboration betweenTate and Google Chrome combines artwork from well-known artists from all over the world and plants them as "trees" in the forest. Anyone can then add to their creation and it plays in a loop leaf by leaf, tree by tree.

This Exquisite Forest is an online collaborative art project that lets users create short animations that build off one another as they explore a specific theme. The result is a collection of branching narratives resembling trees. The project was conceived by Chris Milk and Aaron Koblin, and produced by Google and Tate. It makes extensive use of Google Chrome’s HTML5 and JavaScript support, as well as Google App Engine and Google Cloud Storage. A physical installation is located in the collection galleries on Level 3 at Tate Modern, and will be open for approximately one year beginning on July 23, 2012.

Half artistic project, half marketing tool for Google's web browser Chrome and other technical innovations, "This Exquisite Forest" enables users to create short animations or develop existing ones via the Web site or an interactive display which will open at Tate Modern's Level 3 next Monday.

What do you get when you combine HTML5 drawing animation app with animation engine? No worries, you don't have to guess for long. It's the Google's more recent creative experiment - This Exquisite Forest.

So what can it do? It lets you to let create your own story trees and sprout as many branches as imagination allows you. Moreover, you can add your version of a story to their people’s trees as well. Simply said, This Exquisite Forest lets you to create alternative realities/endings of stories by adding short pieces of animation (no worries, you don’t have to be an artist).
