This art review covers the artist Angelo Plessas and the art work entitled “ObjectRelatedTheory.com (2011)”. This is a piece of digital media art that is expressed as a website. The is an interesting piece of art because it is interactive at the user level. Rather than a set piece of art, it is more of an engine or generator for the user to create pieces of art.
When the website is opened there is initially a blank page with a single colorful circle in the middle. The circle will grow until it takes up the entire screen. However, if the mouse cursor moves over any part of the circle it breaks into two circles and continues to grow. Each circle has a different pattern of colors and shapes within it. Moving the cursor continuously over the webpage causes a buildup of colorful circles. This results in a colorful and creative picture. One additional interesting feature of the website is that there is physics enable. This means that when the balls spawn they can bounce and perform realistic motion. This greatly adds to the immersion and reusability of the art program.
This art piece has an excellent use of color and geometry. The transparency of the circles allow for great color combinations as the circles stack on top of each other. The randomness also adds to the appeal because no two situations are the same.
Overall, I believe that this is an excellent work of art. It in itself is a great work of art. The fact that the website can generate more artwork also adds a great deal of value.
