MOVE and PLAY from Uncontrollable Semantics
_______________________________________________________________________
Digital Creatures (the tentative title) is a dispersed net-artwork/digital poem built from 40 (hopefully more) sections, each an interactive, multimedia artwork. What makes this project unique and (dare I say) exciting is that each interlinked section is hosted on a different website, with the theme/look/aesthetic/poetics of that section inspired by its host. In other words, I am creating 40 unique interactive net based artworks for 40 different sites (who host their corresponding artwork) and then linking them all together.
Of course the immediate question is: Why a Dispersed Artwork? Not only am I interested in artistically translating the geography of the net, and its strange attractors and oddly connected sites, but it also opens new audiences from multi-nodal entry points. All sections are linked together in a grid (up/dwn/lft/rght links). So a viewer might enter the work at (for example) The Okie Gallery of Modern Art and then navigate to the artwork hosted at Funtime and Science magazine and so on.
Examples of similar net-artwork: Uncontrollable Semantics or A preliminary Digital Creatures artwork sample or see the About Jason for more artist words.
What are you agreeing to? (in brief)
- Place an html/flash file on your site. (small size and no fancy scripts)
- Keep the file in the same location for as long as you are willing.
- Promote the artwork on your main-page, blog, feeds etc. (Not expecting grand promotions, just a link, mention etc…)
- All navigation layers are hosted on secrettechnology.com so any site mishaps or gaps in the artwork interlinked grid can be resolved on my end.
Or see Why Participate? for more about WHY and HOW.
And if Digital Poetry and/or Net Art baffle and allure, see the F.A.Q. section for details.
