Wow, I love community art projects, but this one has to top the list. What an
amazing idea, both creatively fascinating and socially enthralling. Thanks for
bringing it to Lugnets attention. Some of the work is absolutely gorgeous, and
the monochromatic colour scheme makes everything work so well together. I'm
totally blown away.

Me too--completely awesome. And I echo Janey--keeping them all white really
great idea.

Hogne,
What a wonderful idea! I lived in Oslo for 9 years and this is the kind of thing
reminds what a kick-ass town it is!
Could never stand that ugly green thing they had in that parking lot...
I wish I could check out these models in person, do you know how long they will
stay there for?
cheers

Hogne-
Thanks posting these! What an awesome event!
Are your photos available for downloading all at once and in higher resolution?

Those models really are great!
Do you know why they are so nice?
Because these people (amateurs) only had 1 color and a few brick sizes to work
with.... They didn't have 3,000 different elements in 34 colors to handicap
their creativity! :-)

These are not my photos. It's a friend of mine who took those pictures.
They should be available in higher resolution via the "All sizes" link above the
pictures themselves. I don't think flickr has a function that allows you to
download them all at once, but it's such a huge sercive that I might be
mistaken.

From what I understand they will be put on display from October 21st in the
museum.
Wish I lived in Oslo and could've participated. :(

I know what you mean, I sometimes feel a bit intimidated myself
by the sheer diversity of the system - it's not only a blessing.
But I must say that some of the weird pieces in that selection
of 3,000 variants have spawned fun projects.
Perhaps there is reason for a "Dogma" movement amongst AFOLs?
"I plead to use only regular bricks and plates"
"I plead to use only the basic Lego colors"
"I take the liberty to make creative exceptions when I feel like it"
"I reserve the right to also build fun small-scale stuff on the side"
Naah. I'll just keep on building.
