I'd fully be up for something like this, but instead one something like those videos where lots of little things act sort of like dominos (I cant remember the name of the dude famous for these videos) but where like something will hit a ball and the ball will turn a fan on and the fan will blow a dart and the dart will hit a switch etc, and at the end it just does something like raise a pixelation flag :)

wouldnt be that hard, say we all have to make a 200x200 animated gif, first person does someone rolling a ping-pong ball across to the right, next person makes the pingpong ball do something in his square, next person continues.
we wouldnt even have to stick them together as one gif (although we probably should so the timing works out :P)

A fixed number of frames and some coordination between the artists regarding where the ball (or whatever) enters and leaves the image and there should be no troubles at all stitching it together.

It'd be an interesting activity to say the least...

Yes, sounds neat. I suggest a member designs a default ball and splits the image into an easy grid with about the same amount going on in each. Sounds like it would be fun.  :0'
