more project examples
recently i was browsing this site it has a collection of net.art projects. i wanted to seek out works that were not focused on being deconstructive and more "primitive" as far as computer design... most are java based works, but some are executable programs that are available for downloading. althought these works are not specifically "web based" they do have a lot in common in execution, although based in a file to be downloaded instead of an applet that loads on a webpage. These works are less concerned with the topic of the internet and more with the functionality of computers in general. The works utilize the capabilites that are inherent in the programming languages (for example java) to create various patterns that are partially controlled by the viewer. this is one thing that these executable files have in common with the website projects. the medium of the computer and internet encourages interactivity. so this commonality is not suprising.
The projects on the site are mostly abstract "drawings" that are created with the execution of the program with the interation of the viewer. they are visually similar to what can be seen on a screen saver.
one is an interactive map that, when three countries are selected, lists the qualities that link that axis. most of the qualities are simply basic facts, but some are fairly comical.
All of these works use a more advanced design model than the previous projects that i have showcased. i am glad to have found some examples that do not fit my previous description, and that broaden the example base for my definition of web based art.
