Seeing as it has common elements to banner-arts and calls for participation at the moment (i.e. the War in Iraq), I felt it should be reviewed.

Using a fairly standard Internet application, the combination of a gallery and an email system on a webpage that normally would have been a commercially orientated tool is a good example of technologies being reinterpreted through art .

Using a fairly standard Internet application, the combination of a gallery and an email system on a webpage that normally would have been a commercially orientated tool is a good example of technologies being reinterpreted through art. The site currently features 80 artists, most of whom have submitted static images (a shame). Submission is also open to the swf format (or indeed animated .gif!) to create animated or even just interactive e-cards. And who knows? Perhaps with a bit of user lobbying, the organizers might add the shockwave .dcr format--the website is still a beta!
