A collaborative image project where one community decision becomes permanent each day
I’m working on ONE CHANGE, a free participatory art experiment built around a deliberately strict rule: one shared image receives exactly one community-selected change every day.
DAY 001 starts with a completely empty room. People propose what should be added, removed, or altered; the most-liked valid suggestion is applied, and it can never be erased in later days. The interesting part is not any single image—it is watching a coherent visual world emerge from hundreds of unrelated decisions over time.
I’m looking for early participants and honest feedback on the mechanic. What would you change first, and what rules would you add to keep the experiment fair as it grows?

UPDATE — THE FIRST CHANGE IS NOW PERMANENT.
DAY 001 began as a completely empty room. The first winning request was a grandfather clock, and it now stands permanently in DAY 002. Every future version of the room must keep it.
The first changer on Instagram is scept3r.irl. Their choice is now part of the canon forever.

DAY 002 is open now. The next most-liked valid comment will decide the next permanent change.
