THE REINY DAY GUIDE TO
WORTHWHILE WEB BASED ART

 

Ah . . . art

Normally I make lists of just everything out there.
But this is a list of only web based artworks
that I feel are definitely worth checking out.


Mostly Graphical

Color Therapy

This lovely creation asks us to
take time with the colors we love.

jodi.org

You could get lost in this site for years.
I don't think I've seen even a fraction of it.
An exploration of text-based images.

Keyword

Similar to the 1997 incarnation of jodi.org.
You could certainly get lost here.
This site plays with language.

Scyphiform::Confluence:Glutinate

Another site to get lost in.
Primarily text based and
asks a lot of questions
about the nature of text.

truth is a moving target

This site requires shockwave
and is a wonderful exploration
of the concept of hypertext.

Answers

A different kind of play on text.

Search Voyeur

Perhaps you wouldn't consider it art,
but I do. Worth spending at least a
few minutes with, if not a few hours...

Video Wall

Click on the Video Wall to see
a unique use of java scripting.

Bouquet: Lead Flowers

An interesting way of looking at
the impact of guns on our society.


All About Words

Jenny Holzer's Truisms

A great way to change the way
we think about popular sayings.
Part of the ada'web.

The World's First Collaborative Sentence

An interesting concept,
thought the Knights that say "Ni"
seem to have taken over.
You too can contribute
your piece of the sentence
.

Chiba Graffiti Wall

A whole bunch of non-sense. Why
do people love to leave there mark
where it will be lost in the multitude?
I much prefer the ChibaMOO
Collaborative Fiction Center

The I Can Eat Glass Project

"The concept of the 'I Can Eat Glass'
Project is simple -- to compile a list of
ways to say the phrase 'I can eat glass,
it doesn't hurt me' in various languages."
You may rethink your definition of language.
