DIWO

Do It With Others (DIWO) is a project that lets artists make art on the web. It started in 2007 as Do-It-Yourself early net art that used the internet as a medium for producing work. Now DIWO is a collaborative online social space that enables communication and appreciation for contemporary work. People can sign up and contribute digital images, audio, and text to an HTTP gallery through an email list. 
After visiting the DIWO website, I understood the concept of the project more. A lot of art websites only accept certain pieces or charge you to display your art. This project lets you show your work through the email chain and the gallery. It lets more people display their pieces in the actual gallery than most sites. I also liked how its open for communication and collaboration. This project started in 2007 and will probably continue to successfully run for a while.
