Her works consist of text only Flash animations that present the text of a poem set to an excellent jazz soundtrack. The words are timed to appear and transform right on the beat with amazing accuracy, so what you have is the equivalent of a beatnik coffee house reading presented at a speed that is readable but not speakable. The first work, Lotus Blossom, is by far the best (with the most music synchronization), but all of the works are fascinating. Many of them feature of some explicit lyrics (oh dear), and Half Breed Apache has some of the best sex metaphors I have ever read. (Don't be put off by the plain-jane home page - just sit back and watch the art!) Visit site Labels: sites Comments Post a Comment
