Terms:
A Cemetery is a named term that designates a series of work completed over a four week-period, containing a series of Crypts, which contain a series of Corpses.
A Crypt is a group of four to five students, arranged in a "magi square" within a Cemetery. Thus if 50 total student are participating in the Exquisite Corpse project from three colleges, they are split into small groups called Crypts, which arrange the students so that there is representative distribution from each class. Think of the Crypt as the housing for a group of students, who contribute in permutated arrangements to the Corpses housed within the Crypt.
Corpses (one through five) are the series of collaborative aesthetic works created inside each Crypt, all created by this same group of students, but with the order of participation varying for each of the five Corpses.
Each Corpse is composed of Limbs, the individual contributions to the Corpse, which are then de-realized by the computer interface.
