Mandala Critique #1
URL: Decellus Mandala
A few things come to mind when I look at this Mandala. First, I watch this mandala and picture it in a rave or techno setting. The music especially adds to the idea of this being shown in a dark room with a DJ around somewhere.
For me, the direction of the movie clips works well. The bar bouncing from one direction, stopping, then continuing another direction again is cool. It's different from the rest of the mandala and sets it apart from everything else.
Overall, the music, button placement, and the images hold together nicely.

Second Weekly Post (for 10/14)
URL: http://www.poemsthatgo.com/gallery/fall2003/
nine/nine.htm
Artist: Jason Lewis
Title/Date: Nine (2001)
Category: Narrative
Function: The artist tells a story through images of a puzzle and words. Once a piece is moved, part of the story with words appears but the image changes when clicked/dragged. So, the linear story becomes somewhat chaotic when shifting through the puzzle to try unfolding the story from the images.
