Curator Review:
Baiyu Zhang’s (almost)
self-titled personal site contains what you would expect
from an interactive maven – portfolio pieces, featured
work, and contact info. However, the spiffy intro and fun
experimental pieces are what launched Blue Baiyu into the
Flash Goddess Gallery.
Every aspect of Baiyu’s site is polished and graceful.
The introduction is quick and can be missed in the blink
of an eye - as a good intro should be. It elegantly builds
out the interface of the site with rapidly popping lines
and flashing boxes and presents us with a clean and easily
navigable site.
Baiyu’s “Experiment” section currently
contains three charming Flash pieces. Included in these
is an interactive experiment that dynamically scales rectangles
and flying dots. These shapes are sized according to the
speed of the mouse motion. It’s amusing to play with
and aesthetically interesting due to its unconventional
interaction methods.
