In this series I will display some websites which I think are Art Works by themselves. Some of these sites are really cool and trendy, others are just plain weird.. just like all contemporary art.
So what make a web site an art work?
Well, it’s a complicated subject which we will discuss as we go along.
I will start with a site called:
Web Art still hasn’t got a clear academic definition, but this site has the interactivity and the “Neen” bits, so it could be counted as Web Art. What could be questioned is the fact that each one of the experiments is somehow separated from the others. Each experiment could be thought of as a different work connected only by the navigation interface.
So could unControl be thought of as an Art Gallery instead of an Art Work?
interesting site!
well, I think it’s the old story of art when it clashes with other majors
artists see it as a peice of art, (maybe) programmers and site developers see as a gaient error!
each specialist has his own definition of a good/ intersting design
and design here covers every invention in oowr live
starting from a nail, cars, building, and websites
so what do you think is Web Art?
is there such a thing?
can you think of a website that is a work of art?
can I think of one?
well, we need first to set some rules so we can base our judgments
art is an elastic word
each of us has his own defintion of art work
some could say the interface of the web, the colors, and compositions
others may consider the functionalty of the layout the links, interaction between the site and the user
others appreciate the techniques and programming
websites are like architecture if not a new form of it
many specialist are involved in the work
from the designer and programmer to the sociologist!
and each has his own defintion of what is a website the is a work of art 😉
