Great to know that you are here Andrea. I took a quick look at the piece on
Andrea's site at

http://www.danceonline.com/feat/3e/

One thing that I found interesting about this piece is the extreme
simplicity with which it is made -- all of the moving images are animated
GIFs. No shockwave, no java, which means it is viewable by almost any
graphic browser.

I also took note of the extremely low-res, grainy feel of all of the
images. This seems to be theme among people who are trying to avoid the
high-gloss look of most computer generated or processed imagery. So it
feels lo-tech, but here we are viewing it on the via the internet.

Anyway, y'all should have a look for yourselves.

Best,
Mark
