Virtual Papyrus is an interactive website which allows users to create a message or drawing in response to one of four topics: Utopia, The Environment, Addictions, and Work. These categories were chosen for their relation to the broader theme of "collectivity at this period in our history". Viewers use an interactive window on the website to create messages or drawings that express their thoughts, opinions or ideas on one or more of the themes. These contributions are then added to the virtual scroll of messages and drawings created by previous viewers, thus becoming part of the website. Virtual Papyrus, like many other group collaboration websites, aims to investigate the potential of collaboration, draw attention to topics that are extremely relevent for today's society, and to observe how the messages that viewers leave will then stimulate and affect successive contributions to the site.
