I encountered this website when I was preparing for a research project on the interpersonal interaction in the people’s park in Shanghai. Not only is this website an interactive one where the user could click, hover, or scroll the screen to trigger some function but it also provides socially significant information in an artistic way.

This project inspires me because it makes boring statistics easy and interesting to read on the platform of the internet as the medium. My understanding of media art is basically “media + art,” or the artistic communication/illustration via a platform that is up-to-date. This project by Sixth Tone utilizes the web to tell a story, and it is a practical and artistic use of media. It also inspires me that doing an art project, I could also make it socially significant.

Internet Art–Jialu

This webpage is a collection of the texts and images from GeoCities where people could create their own home pages. The webpage sorts the texts and images into different categories and each category has its own style. I really like the mixing of different styles. And these styles somehow share something in common which makes them coherent with each other. Since GeoCities was shut down in 2009, this webpage serves as a memorial for the past. It’s really fascinating to explore the content in this page and to see so many ideas living in the internet. It’s also sad to realize that this page is actually like a museum exhibiting the glory past.

For this project I was in charge of the javascript part and the acting part.

Due to some of the communication problems the consistency of videos in different pages is not very good especially in terms of the volume and speed.

And the overall layout css style is a bit simple due to short time.

About the javascript I had to use as simple code as possible and that results in super long codes and too much numbers of files, which is difficult for me to arrange. It ends up costing more time.

And the biggest issue of the whole project is that we were being over ambitious which result in us merely combining too much of not-very-well grinded stuff together.

To be honest I wasn’t really proud of this project and I feel like if each of us have more time to communicate and work towards one goal, the outcome could be better.

But anyway, this is the best we can do, all of us. We tried and we made it. That’s what really matters. Hope everything go well next project.

Internet Art – Julia Riguerra

this Internet art project, titled “What football will look like in 17776,” is the story of a planetary space probe. I chose it because it incorporates different types of media and goes with the theme of technology and sentience, which we explored a bit at the beginning of the semester.

Internet Art Project Inspiration

r/place was a subreddit that featured a blank canvas in which users can select a pixel and create internet art. The catch was that each person only can change one tile every 20 minutes thus enabling community wide efforts to create art. At the end, the board was filled with different pieces of art, ranging from flags, university logos, and meme art. This is the final result
