Project Details
- Informative Art is about how computer displays can be integrated and blended into the everyday environment. "The computer graphics of the future will need to blend in with the environment, yet at the same time provide opportunities for reflection and stimulation, much like traditional art. This is the motivation behind Informative Art."
- "Informative Art borrows from the 'language' of traditional art (in particular non-figurative painting) to create computer graphic displays that convey some kind of dynamic information. For example, a wall-mounted screen showing geometrical figures reminiscent of the style of the painter Piet Mondrian might in fact be an information display that shows the amount of unread email for each employee in a workplace."
