strange yet unique compositions
When I think of composition I think of anything that is a work of art, music, literature and the way something is structured and put together. I think the works on this website are creative versions of composition in their own way. Even though they’re not structured like a book, they have some kind of message in them, directly or indirectly. One of them however, The Code Movie 1, I guess you could call it a composition, but it was only comprised of random numbers and letters. But with music and interesting graphics added it became a work of art. Another work though, called Project for Tachistoscope [Bottomless Pit] really gave me a headache. It was a continuous scroll of words with pictures behind them, going so fast you could barely read them. But within this rapid text were subliminal pictures and shows a connection between words and text, even if they don’t make sense. Overall I thought this website was out of the ordinary and gives you a different perspective on the types of composition that are out there. Yes, some of the works were extremely bizarre and didn’t make sense to me, like Landscapes by Bill Marsh. But most of the ones I looked at were very unique. Not your typical compositions at all.

I definitely agree with you that an author is trying to convey some sort of message, no matter how they decide to arrange it for their audience. And yes, while some are extremely interesting with music and graphics with the text, others definitely gave me a headache too. I guess not everyone understands an artists intention... i mean look at some of the modern day paintings that are worth millions of dollars. we might not really GET it, but everything - in one way or another - has a point to it.
