Internet Art
Internet Art is my favorite
subject in school. It's a complete different form of art. Net Artists not
only need to be creative, but they must also possess extensive skills in Web Design. The
internet is a defining medium, and artists use it as a tool to create art.
Internet art mostly deals with social taboos, and its audience consists of mostly younger
generations. Internet art truly helps me think about the net in a more
critical and expansive way.

NetCinema :: THOUGHTS
I asked friends and strangers in chatrooms, on campus, gas stations, on the
street ...etc (people just like you) for their random thoughts in two
weeks and represented them as my Nonlinear Narrative. What could be more
nonlinear than our thoughts? Our restless mind? Day and night it runs
without rest, revealing and telling you who you are. Thoughts are powerful and
easily neglected. This is my chance to put a few of them into words and show
you where the truth lies.

eCommerce :: iPOD
Since last quarter of 2001, Apple Computer has created a new generation with
their infamous iPod. The iPod is currently the world's best-selling digital
audio player (67,641,000 sold till Q4 of 2006) and its worldwide mainstream
adoption makes it one of the most popular consumer brands. Some of Apple's
design choices and proprietary actions have, however, led to criticism and
legal battles. You can notice that iPod doesn't just influence our way of
listening to music, but it also impacts our languages, our images, and most of all our way of thinking. How, you might ask? I will show you.

NetDetourmement :: WOW
World of Warcraft (commonly abbreviated as WoW) is a massive multiplayer
online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Blizzard Entertainment.
Blizzard Entertainment is an American PC game developer and publisher. Since
its release of Warcraft in 1994, it has been one of the most successful game
development studios in the world. The company has a history of largely
overshooting release dates to ensure the quality of their games. Many
Blizzard fans see this as somewhat of a blessing in disguise, as Blizzard
has a reputation for producing classic games that are played for years to
come after their release. Every one of their games since Warcraft has been a
best-seller. As of November 9, 2006, WoW is the most popular game in the world.
Blizzard announced that the subscriber base for WoW has
reached a new milestone with 7.5 million players worldwide. More than 40%
of their so-called "customers" are addicted to the game. How far did their
addictions go? Did Blizzard do anything? Let's find out!
