good influence

My Boyfriend Came Back From the War
Olia Lialina, 1996




Young Hae Chang Heavy Industries
Korea Web Art Festival 2001

These two pieces have influenced Project II. I really liked the idea of frames inside of frames that Olia Lialina used in 'My Boyfriend Came Back From the War.' I didn't take it quite as far as she did, but it did influence my project. The website being black and white is also an influence on my project because I like the way things just appear out of the darkness.
Also Young Hae Chang Heavy Industries' 'Korea Web Art Festival' had a great influence on my project. I like the way words flash on the screen and disappear. I used this component in my project in a couple of different places. It looks simple but it works for the project. The Korea Web Art Festival piece is user interactive without being interactive because Young Hae Chang uses words to interact with the user. The words draw them in because the piece is talking to them. I am also incorporating this aspect into my project with a flash piece that is talking specifically to the viewer.
