Classmate's Mandalas

Creator: Patrick "Mongoose" Bussey

Can easily tell which buttons are the off and on. The mandala is very
clean, simple, and easy to figure out what does what in it. I like how
when one circle spins one way the next circle spins the opposite way.

All the buttons on the mandala function correctly and is
easy to figure out what each button does. Thought the button
that moves was distracting and confusing because it doesn't
function like a button but is just a movie clip.

Title: tunnel (1996)
Category of net Art: Narrative
Description: The website takes the viewer on a narrative
story of cybersex. The user can use buttons to navigate
his/her way through the world of love and lust. It also
shows images that flash for a split second and then
goes away, as well as text scrolling by the window
and buttons that change shape and
form when you roll over them.

Title: >di][e][lation][wo][manifesto (2001)
Category of net Art: Animation
Description: This website lets the view choose
buttons on the screen, that will pop up another
net art. The original page is full of net art of
a dark background with pieces of the body
anatomy and has the same
words and buttons you can choose from.

Title: Nine (2001)
Category of net Art: Game
Description: The website is pretty much like a puzzle
that you have to move around the pieces to the
empty square. But when you hold down the mouse
button when you have the piece together
they start to change into a different picture.
So, there is like 5 or 6 different
pictures on one puzzle piece.

Title: The Intruder (1998)
Category of net Art: Humor
Description: The website uses flash movie clips to
tell a story about an intruder. But it also, makes the
viewer interact with the flash clips to tell them the
story. For example, the designer uses the video game
pong to tell the intro, catching words in a jar as they fall
off the screen, or shooting aliens as they
come and try to destroy your house.

Category of net Art: 3D Graphics
Description: The website uses movie clips to make the words

some of the animals move like the butterfly will
flap its wings from time to time.
