Aesthetics
Commissioner: Carlo Maley
It was the Ancient Greeks who first espoused the idea that a full life required
a sound mind, a sound body, and a good interior designer. To that end,
this years Olympics will not only include events of high intellectual
and physical calibre, but also an event for the aesthetically challenged.
Interactive Art
Each team will be responsible for constructing a section of web space that
is both an interactive and an aesthetic experience. The results should
enhance the quality and general coolness factor of our web site. A panel
of judges and random algorithms will determine the winners. Or perhaps
we'll just tally hits to the pages in some totally-cheater proof way.
Instructions:
Each team has a week to produce the coolest web experience in the world. At 5pm, Saturday, Feb. 3, a panel of judges will decide on the winners based on:
- Artistic Merit (appeal)
- Interactivity (entertainment and creative expression)
- Popularity (popularity)
It is pretty much that simple.
