SymbioticMedia.ou.edu is a website that was deployed for (a now extinct) new media
program at Oklahoma Univeristy. The site was completed in standard html, css and
javascript.
About Symbiotic Media
The Symbiotic Media Program was an inter-disciplinary program where artists, engineers,
scientists and scholars gather to investigate the dynamic interplay of humans, biology
and technologies. Students studied a range of things from deign, to sound, to enginnering,
to art, to linguistics and everything in between.
About Symbiotic Media
As for the site itself, there were a a small variety of technologies used. The intro
movie was completed in Flash with original sound design. The navigation menu was
completed with basic javascript. The contact form is powered by php.
From a design perspective, the goal was to create a site that took a number of elements
fomr various disciplinary fields and combine them in a homogenous way that worked
aesthetically. I combined elements of art, biology, engineering, mathematics adn
sound to create an animated banner that suggested the overriding theme of the program.
The site is incomplete, of course. The program got canned.
