Simon Norton’s “Testimony: A story Machine"Response

This site is highly interactive and allows the viewer to travel many paths. These paths guide the observer to alternate stopping points, which makes it somewhat confusing. To enjoy this, the idea of a static narrative has to be swapped for a dynamic one. The spectator must be willing to allow the piece to take him/her where ever they end up. The craftmanship of the piece is excellent. All the drawings are well done and animations move fluidly. It functions fluidly as well, there are no boggs or delays and runs seamlessly on the web. This is probably due to the images all being vector based, however, I prefer to work in a raster world and I wonder if the same level of fluidity could be achieved with pixels.
