http://www.99rooms.com/ is a unique
internet art project that interweaves wall painting, photography,
animation and sound in a manner entirely unknown until now. Shortly
after its launch in June 2004, more than two million individuals
throughout the world have already visited this interdisciplinary
composite work of art.
99rooms stemmed from the mystical, often apolocalyptically charming
pictures created by Berlin artist Kim Köster within the countless
vacated premises of East Berlin's industrial sector. Photos of
these paintings were initially produced in digital form and then
animated through a cooperative effort between Richard Schumann
& Stephan Schulz and then subsequently complemented through a
personal sounddesign from Johannes Buenemann. The final product of
this year long effort is a scintillating intermediary world which
invites the observer into an journey through its morbidly-beautiful
rooms.
I love the idea of the website. Not for all viewers though.
