The Screening Circle


Screening Circle adapts the cultural tradition of the quilting circle into an online format. Visitors to the site can enter the drawing area to compose loops of graphics and affect and edit each other's screens. The pieces can be made by one person or by several people and the arrangement of the segments can be haphazard or precise. In the screening area, the resulting motion graphics will be on view instantaneously. The Screening Circle is a good example of web art because it took an old tradition and art form and brought it to the digital age. Before only people who knew how to sew could be apart of a quilting circle and usually with close friends but now anyone can from famous artist to people who just stumble on the website.
