Cambrian Game with Camera Phones

keitaicambrian.gif The Cambrian Game, by Toshihiro Anzai and Rieko Nakamura, is a game in which players submit their own "leaf" to a "tree." You then link a new leaf to the existing leaf that inspired you to create the new one.

This game is typically played by multiple players and generates a tree that grows according to how ideas propagate, transform, and evolve through the players' interactions with a social media space. The game could be played using different kinds of digital and analog media like drawings, abstract shapes, camera phone photos, haiku poems, etc.

At Aichi Expo, the artists organized several sessions of the game, one of which is done using camera phones.
