Redemption


Redemption is finally up at a/k/a Hunter. It's a new version, a translation from a wall installation of a few years ago for a World AIDS Day exhibition to a webpage. It involved a total rethinking, and lot of tinkering, and I'm not sure it's done yet. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'll be back in, adding, subtracting, altering text and images. I did learn a few tricks on this one, and I'm sure I'll learn more.

(And of course, checking the link, I discovered a typo. No, I'm not going to fix it right now.)

Update:

Thinking about it, I've realized that the problem lies in translating from a wall, which provides a horizontal narrative flow that leaves the decision of what to view next with the viewer, to a Web page, which demands (in this case) a vertical flow with the order determined. I'm not really happy with the present form, so definitely expect more tinkering -- perhaps more images to break up the text a little more, which wasn't an issue in the original installation. (Please note that with this page, unlike the Galleries, you cannot click on the image to view it in a larger format, since they're not meant to be considered separately here.)
