Art Response #3










Nine (2001)
Artist: Jason Lewis
Game

The following piece is an interactive puzzle where the viewer slides the images to reveal bits of poetry and blurbs about the artist's life. I find this piece to be interesting in that it mimics, in a sense, real life interaction. I would like to clarify my point by saying that, we get bits and pieces of the artist's life as we go along. Everything is not given to us at once and we must work through the puzzle, only getting glimpses, like we work to get to know a person in real life... Only getting glimpses...Until we reveal the full picture but there is no guarantee that we will get there.
