by Minoo Moallem, Design and Programming by Erik Loyer October 2007 Launch Project |
In Nation on the Move, a single thread is pulled, teased and stretched into a chaotic web of interconnections between ideas of nationhood, gender, commerce and art that comprise the world of the Persian carpet. A collaboration with scholar Minoo Moallem.
|
As the piece begins, users a presented with a single thread stretched across an image. |
By clicking and dragging, the user can “hang” colored strands of this thread on specific locations in the image, revealing short texts that illuminate aspects of Moallem’s argument. | |
|
Further exploration results in a chaotic web of interconnections. |
A bookmarkable index allows users to explore the content of the project independently of the main interface. |
