Minha Yang's Web site functions not only as an example of what can be achieved in interactive motion graphics, or "kinetic media art," as she calls it, but also as a thoughtful, Zen-like distraction. Simply designed with muted colors and soft earth tones, this site features two award-winning projects and a series of studies. The first project, A Garden, is divided into several tranquil selections, including a ghostly bamboo forest and a goldfish that swims away from your cursor. Continuously clicking on the fish causes it to sprout tendrils that grow into vectors, which eventually reveal the skeleton of the application like an x-ray. In the second project, Anxiety, a series of dots react to your cursor like electric-prodded animals. In one of the koan-like captions that accompany this section, Yang writes, "When the machine is exasperate with fear it show its vitality in the most beautiful way."
