How is the Coollage made?

1000 objects manually selected and cut out from thousands photographs taken by Farsad Ghaffarian over 10 years all over the world.
A program coded by Farsad himself with a specific algorithm creates 35k collages by placing random objects without overlapping the important parts of the other objects, then random backgrounds, shapes and filters are added to give the images a more artistic feel.
Finally, 10k objects are manually and carefully curated from the 35k collages generated.

Tiers

We are making a community of photographers, curators and collectors. To grant specific powers to each group we divided the collection into three tiers.

9790 x Artists

This tier works as a pass to the community. It also allows the owner to submit one artwork per Coolllage item to our quarterly contests.

190 x Curators

In addition to access to the Artists tier, the 500 owners of this tier suggest artworks to collect to support emerging artists and community members.

20 x Collectors

In addition to access to the Curators Tier, The 200 owners of this tier have the right to vote on our contests and some major project and community decisions.
