Web Art

The above link is the web art that I found most interesting of the ones I found trough exploring various links. Even from the home page of the site, it is very interesting and interactive. I especially like the crumpling and un-crumpling pieces of paper. It is a very interesting animation and interactive, as each sheet will remain in the stage it occupies when the cursor moves over it. I think that this is a good animation to choose to illustrate the thought process of the artist while creating his/her works. Of the actual works featured on the site, my favorite is "Sketch Pad." This piece of web art changes direction, shape, and density based on the viewers manipulation of the cursor in the designated area. I particularly enjoy that the viewer has so much control over the art that he/she is viewing. As far as the actual art, I like that the swirling shapes often resemble letters, as if they form a word that is only just illegible. Upon using the back function, a gallery of "Sketch Pad" works are revealed, all of which remind me of gesture drawings. Another particularly interesting feature of the site is the "The Source" which begins as a scattering of black pixels on a white field and gradually comes to form a word through stages of reorganization. I found this concept to be particularly interesting, despite the fact that it did not allow for viewer interaction.
