I have come across an interesting electronic piece titled:
Dept. of Rhythmanalysis: Dupage, by
Kevin Hamilton. This piece shows viewers True/False answers to unusual questions in a very basic electronic Green/Red LED display...
Images of Dept. of Rhythmanalysis: Dupage from: www.kevinhamilton.org... some of the conditions displayed include:
- WAR IN IRAN / WAR IN IRAQ
- BORDER SECURE / NO BORDER
- DEMOCRATIC WHITE HOUSE / REPUBLICAN WHITE HOUSE
- IT WILL GET BETTER / ITS PRETTY BAD
This piece and other versions of it are mentioned in an
article on Rhizome that mention Hamilton as an artist that is
"clearly invested in questioning the nature of interface and display".So Hamilton seems to have followed similar principles that UAF follows, in that he is exploring alternative ways of display for interfaces. Which is the same thought process of UAF, where alternative thinking will provide users with an unusual and innovative interface.
