Synopsis
(version anglaise)
A
is for Apple is an interactive work that investigates a cryptography
of the apple. Using an ever expanding series of associative links, the
work looks for hidden meanings, coincidences and insights that stem
from the apple. This leads to a vast web of references from western
metaphysics, popular culture, the history of cryptography, ideas of
language, and psychoanalytic theory.
The work
was constructed using the paradigm of collage. Paper collages were
used as seeds for photoshop images, and then, in collaboration with
flash animators Rob Whynot, Randy Knott, and Ron Gervais, animated
and interactive pages were made. The installation portion of the exhibition
includes a large map of the project, 14 of the original collage drawings
and 14 photoshop images. The web site Aisforapple.net has been online
since March 15, 2002.
