Play website
- Website interface.1, Website interface.2
In cooperation with Kristi van Riet and Michael Samyn for VanRiet online productions, an innovative online discussion space for the Doors of Perception website is being developed. Main new feature is that it creates 'landscapes of quotes' rather than hierarchical and chronological listings of e-mails. Starting with provocative statements users are able to add comments, change the lay out and modify or delete statements. Users are also free to modify contributions of other 'players', and reorganise—and even trash—contributions. In doing so they radically change eachothers vieuws... The graphical interface resembles and ironizes the worlds of toys and games.






Brenda Laurel
