Net Art by Andy Deck
For Hull's program Interact (Time Based Arts), Andy Deck has
chosen an assortment of recent work from his online project,
Artcontext. Deck has developed software for public use via the
Internet browser which solicits participation in the production of
imagery that is recorded as it develops. Featured are Glyphiti
(2001-present), an evolving image that reflects the pixelated
drawings of many visitors; Open Studio
(2000-present), a classic multi-user experience that immerses
people in a dynamic assortment of colorful imagery and anonymous
visual conversations; and Collabyrinth (2002), a playful tool that
looks like conventional production software but opens onto an
icon-filled landscape of contributed designs.
