[citation needed] The original project website was launched on July 14, 2006 by London-based artist Paul Fisher.
The site uses an Adobe Flash drawing tool to enable members to contribute images drawn on screen using a mouse or digipad, and an AJAX viewer which displays the whole artwork mosaic.
Artistic and Charitable The One Million Masterpiece aims to produce a piece of public artwork that will provide a snapshot of global society.
Space monkeys are small circular faces, typically cartoonish in nature and rudimentary in style.
Other common recurring elements include: views of the earth from space, eyes, hearts, and flowers.
It is proposed that the final piece will be printed and unveiled in Central London on World Population Day 2008.
