There is no chin behind Chuck Norris' beard. There is only another fist.

I want to explore the parallels between a personal website space in relation to a personal real space such as a home,which serve both as a personal and private space. I am interested in how people represent themselves on the internet through sites such as myspace, in much the same way as they decorate a personal space such as a home. The most evident in passing by a home is what can be seen through the window. How a homeowner decorates their window projects their identity out in to the street for others to see their beliefs, preferences etc. The internet is used in much the same way as the site designer chooses what images, thoughts will be seen as an outward representation of themselves. Through using internet "explorer" or "navigator" we tour around this imaginary cyber space. In much the same way the language used to describe how the internet is used can be linked to voyeurism and tourism through its ability to show 'windows' into other peoples lives.
I want to create an interactive site which will contain voyeuristic portraits of windows and other ways to view other peoples lives. Each window photographed will show the beliefs chosen to be outwardly displayed by their owners and will act as a kind of gallery of photos and possibly sounds meant to give a glimpse into the lives of the various residents.
The site will be for artists and/or internet users in general from home/school as a kind of sound art/photography/interactive site.
Week by week
Jan 29-feb 26
I plan on walking around the city photographing and gathering sounds from interesting houses and areas of the city. I'm sure mor ideas will come out of this process of walking and gathering images which may be incorporated into the final webpage concept.
Feb 14-March 05
Upload/organize photos/sounds on computer set up basic design using Photoshop. Make alpha channels.
March 12-April ?
put all photos and images on flash and work on interactive components.
apparently html doesnt work on this so heres a link to a very rough Paint sketch of one of my ideas for the main page layout so far.
