Pieces of art n°9: Create your flower or garden
Posted by: Fidji SIMO in Art, Internet/Technology
Apparently flowers and gardens are inspiring when it comes to Net art! Zefrank.com, which is an amazing source of Net art projects (what he calls “interactive toys”), has created some projects around flowers and gardens that are really worth mentioning.
First of all you can create your own flower by choosing you petal type, size and color. Then, you can select your flower or / and the ones of the whole community of users to create your customized garden (tree or vine-like).
As I told in my previous article about Net art, it is again a “navigation” Net art project as the user just have to choose but “adds” absolutely nothing.
But Zefrank also created a flower related project where users can add a particular thing to the project: their voice. The composition of the flower depends on the sound and intensity of your voice, and it gives amazing things, you should try it!
Again I’m wondering: what is the purpose behind these artistic projects? Just experimenting all the possibilities of web design, entertaining visitors, or revealing something more profound? If you are a Net artist, I would LOVE to interview you for my thesis
