did anyone even watch the flash video file? i was not able to get passed the green/blue equation symbol sequence.
overall, when you compare this work to what's being done by other artists, it feels abit campy, in terms of choice of sound design, imagery, and strength of concept execution. sometimes the art direction is coherent - sometimes not. otherwise it is an amalgam of past styles we're familiar with, with a new sensibilty towards video art experimentalism. this is a good sign, but it feels more aesthetic than its attempt at being conceptual.
interactivity - i would have preferred to see a more sophisticated interacting system than just a "point and click" adventure, but it seems that the work was not about advanced menu systems. however, the method used feels outmoded, and doesn't work in favour of the overall concept.
art direction - nice. but again as stated above, feels like a sequence of graphic design motion graphic stuff / minimal video art pieces. i like the choice of footage over the graphic pieces, which may fall into banal territory.
as i understand, this is a work of personal effort, and not public approval, therefore it stands on its own as a interest piece. at least it's not trying to sell you something.
nice stuff.
