Ghost Towns of the Internet
September 10, 2009For future Reference:
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Quasar/5849/
For project 1 I want to create a fake fan site and comment on the apparent loneliness of so many people who lead the internet fan life.
I also want to make a website that appears to have been abandoned like this one. “Last updated Jan. 18, 2001″: words like these are so eerie and mysterious to me. How could someone so devoted to their fandom not update it in so many years? Did they find happiness or preoccupation elsewhere in the real world, did something turn them off their fandom, did they grow out of it, did they DIE?
I want to explore the ghost towns of the internet and maybe create my own based on a fake obsession that represents everything its fan wishes for but can not attain in his real life.
100 Years of Visual Effects
September 10, 2009A nostalgic and fun trip through technological time, this video displays the evolution of visual effects in cinema. Starting with “The Enchanted Drawing”-1900 and ending with “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”-2008.
It’s amazing to see the change, but what is really increbable is that each huge step in technology must have been unimaginable to the pervious generation of film makers. It makes you wonder what could be next. Who would have thought it would take 100 years to develop the technology to make Brad Pitt ugly.
Guess the Google
September 10, 2009Designer/Artist Grant Robinson created this game based on google image search. Look at the images and within the time limit guess what word was googled resulting in those particular images.
The game gets old after a while and you do see some repeat words, but the concept of using an icon like Google search for an interactive web based piece of art is very clever because it is accessible whether you want to think of it as art, or just as a fun internet distraction. It holds your interest long enough to appreciate the concept, and you may even want to send it to some other friends and in this way I see it as a successful web project.

Life Advise from Old People
September 2, 2009Advice from our elders is not a new idea, but compiling short video interviews with sometimes willing, sometimes not so willing old folks is a funny and sweet concept.
