html

after being so immersed in html this semester I get excited when its mentioned, its nice to see html used in an art context instead of a commercial function.


With this exhibition I liked the use of space in context. Its obvious yes. I found the navigation of the site limiting because my first experience was not making an extra click on the work to 'activate' it. I saw the image accompanied with the text like you would see in a gallery but fell short on the full experience untill later which put a whole new layer of movement, time, space and in some cases a further context through the work.
