:: Vectors Review ::

www.vectors.usc.edu

specific show
I found this website to be one of my favorites. It was designed with a very clean concept and I believe it to be easy to navigate through. The flash designs are especially fun to interact with. The intro has this preliminary type of interaction where you can draw with your mouse. 
Continuing on.....The idea of actually integrating the gallery and perception of the viewer in order to see how others perceive art is incredible. In particular, there is one show that is called {The Virtual Window Interactive} by Anne Friedberg and designed by Erik Loyer. They have created a virtual space of how the 'world is framed and the importance of what is contained in the frame. Friedberg covers a timeline of how and what culture has visually seen over the course of 500 years.

I agree, the design of this application is clear and easy to navigate. At the same time providing a unique insight into the way we view the world around us and the devices we do this with.

This is a good example of how interactivity with a work of art will help one understand the meaning of the work of art as a whole. There are plenty of descriptions for those looking for an artist statement. However, the presentation of the piece is enough to portray its meaning alone.

I enjoy the interactive aspects of the site. It definitely has some great aesthetic qualities that make it appealing too and explores the computer's ability to conquer three-dimensional space.
