The rapid changes taking place in today\u2019s society as a result of technological innovations also influence and change the face of art. Video art, interactive installations, and net art (Internet art) are new art forms created with digital tools that constitute an important basis for reflecting the changes taking place in society.\r\n\r\nThe navigation in interactive art work demands of the viewer that s\/he follow the line of thinking of the artist and decode the signs that the artist has created in order to progress and view the work in its entirety. The works chosen for The Digital Maze deal with the questions raised by the medium and with the awareness of the status of the viewer as a hero (protagonist) that wanders \/ navigates a world of new signs and symbols.\r\n\r\nThe word \u201cmaze\u201d is connected to the concept of getting lost, confusion, and losing one\u2019s orientation. The maze as a metaphor assumes a process of searching, as those inside it cannot see its end. Those trapped \/ wandering in a maze must undergo a process in order to reach the solution, the treasure, or the exit. They must crack a code or series of codes and adapt themselves to the prevailing rules.\r\n\r\nThe Electronic Maze and Theater;\r\nThe image of the maze offers a transparency of hypermedia technology. The maze is present in hypermedia systems in a structure that organizes information, text, an image, or sound and the experience of wandering in the maze that is created by the viewer in the course of his or her choices from within a chain of links in the virtual space (a hyperlink is a way of linking text with pictures, film, or sound in non-linear form).\r\n\r\nA fundamental similarity exists between the virtual world and the theatrical world: Both rest on the building of a fictitious reality that exists in real time. The experience is created within the viewer \/ participant, where the condition for its creation is his or her ability to take upon him\/herself the rules of the virtual world and take steps to relate to it.\r\n\r\nThe participating artists\u00a0present a variety of perspectives on the maze. In everyone, the digital maze is built with different parameters.\r\n\r\nSteve Stanza\u00a0is showing \u201cThe Central City,\u201d a work constructed of pieces of text embedded into music files built especially for the Internet with organic networks and city networks, computer-created images, and the sounds of the city of London. In \u201cThe Central City,\u201d the city becomes an organic texture of diagrams. The networks in the work contain 200 films that can be navigated. Amorphoscapes by Stanza\u00a0shows\u00a0urban images taken from digital media tools are transformed into abstract compositions, then go back to resembling skyscraper jungles. These changes take place as a result of the movement of a computer mouse, yet this installation leaves the standard computer screen and is spread over four video projections.\u00a0http:\/\/www.amorphoscapes.com\/am\/index.htm\r\n\r\nThe Interactive Labyrinth\u00a0(a computer game) by\u00a0Oren Zuckerman\u00a0offers a new interface for labyrinth games such as PacMan. In order to move around the game space, the player uses his or her voice in place of a mouse; sound and not words trigger navigation through the maze. The viewer-player must learn to control his or her voice in order to navigate the maze and earn a high score.\r\n\r\nSous Terre: The Subnetwork by\u00a0Gregory Shtonski\u00a0is a network of underground tunnels in which subways figure as the ultimate urban mode of transportation. The questions that the installation asks touch on the current appearance of this underground world and understanding the transitions and human relations existing within it. In Sous Terre, images from the subway are organized as part of a network-based system, accompanied by text and sound.\u00a0http:\/\/www.sous-terre.net\r\n\r\nMegatronix by\u00a0Teo Spiller\u00a0is an interactive game played on the Web that gives the participant the illusion of free choice. In fact, the participant does not control the proceedings of the game, but rather acts within a random system arbitrarily determined by the script. Teo Spiller relates to random, illogical violence as it is manifested on television, in films, in computer games, and in comic books. He invites those participating, wherever they may be in the world, to add more scenes to \u201cMegatronix\u201d that will retain its anarchistic, haphazard character, thus ensuring that the game will be built, scene after scene, with no pre-known direction, and will be presented in a different way each time.\u00a0http:\/\/megatronix.mestna-galerija.si\/\r\n\r\nCyberspace Landscape by\u00a0Eddo Stern\u00a0is a digital video loop wherein a three-dimensional cave is transformed into an archetype of an image of the future.\r\n\r\nSearchEngine v.003 - Yuli Ziv and Uri Golan;\r\nYuli Ziv and Uri Golan have created an experiential search engine similar to other search engines whose results are mostly unanticipated and do not reflect the expectations of the user. The viewer that uses the engine receives a link to an image and sound that are in turn linked randomly from within a database of images taken from the Web, with the result that every search creates a totally new experience.\r\nhttp:\/\/www.yuliziv.com\/searchengine.html\r\n\r\n\u201dCalling The Absent\u201d is a work by Ricarda Denzer. Across from Denzer\u2019s apartment is an apartment that\u2019s been locked up for years, and no one knows why the former tenants left and what became of them. Denzer photographs the interior of the empty apartment and invites various people to try to reconstruct, using clues that she found, the history of the family that lived there.\r\n\r\n\u201cIncident of the last decade - 1999 Sampling Sarajevo, Sarajevo Between 1999 and 2000\u201d is a three-part project by Gregory Chatonsky that documents Sarajevo as it looked then, its nostalgic past, and the relationship between the virtual place and the geographical locale.\r\n\r\nIn Annette Weintrope\u2019s work, the cinematic style and icons of New York\u2019s Times Square and 42nd Street combine with an investigation of the capacity of film to transmit a sense of intersection, creating layers of the places\u2019 stories, elements of which are familiar in cinema. Advertisements and culture blend in a series of cinematic fables that merge personal stories and public places.","bottom_gallery":null,"list_title":"","list":null,"platform_hours_title":"","platform_hours_content":"","platform_info_title":"","platform_info_phone":"","platform_info_cell":"","platform_info_email":"","platform_credits_title":"","platform_credits_subtitle":"","platform_credits_icons":null,"posts_query":"latest","posts":null,"select_term_id":null,"Code":"","Name":"","ID":"","BriefText":"","DetailText":"","ReviewUrl":"","TrailerUrl":"","DirectLink":"","SummarySaleStatus":"","LongMinutes":"","BreakMinutes":"","MediumImageUrl":"","SmallImageUrl":"","LargeImageUrl":"","ShowTypeId":"","RecommendedForSlideShowInGenres":"","ShowTypeName":"","EventDate":"","FormattedDate":"","ActualEventDate":"","StartSaleFrom":"","EndSaleAt":"","LastUpdate":"","SaleStatus":"","SoldOut":"","IsFutureSaleForDisplay":"","OwnerId":"","OwnerName":"","HallName":"","HallGuid":"","smallimage":null,"mediumimage":null,"largeimage":null,"event_display_dates":null,"gallery":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Digital Maze &#8226;
