Assembler >> Brent Gustafson Self-proclaimed "making art with machine code." ---------------------- ||| HIAFF 3.0 | university of colorado | department of art and art history | digital arts area | in conjunction with alt-x | atlas | blurr intro artwork ------------------------ < image.mapping [Intro] An experimental DHTML project by Brent Gustafson. Making art with machine code… Composed of ongoing projects in unique DHTML widgets, you can copy the source codes for personal use. Very simple and funny, you’ll immediately notice the retro graphics and look and feel, inspired by early gaming environments like the Atari 2600 Jr. Gustafson is fascinated with how simplicity in programming languages can accomplish all this. Everything has been coded and designed by hand - from scratch - to prove "you can do complex things with DHTML cross platform and browser." Perhaps the various experiments are complex for DHTML but it is the sweet simplicity that makes the assemblies work so perfectly. Assembly might remind you of playing with the original lego building blocks: there is a sense of order and ease in uniformity.
