Timo's questions

Please add your thoughts, but try to keep it short

Dennis Astrid agrees with Dennis :-)

The ideal catalog website should support:

  • What is the content you think to show in the online catalog? (What do you want your audience to get from the catalog?
    • Visual material for the project made over the year. An in-depth description. An artist statement and bio +link to portfolio website. And possibly the thesis for the extremely interested
  • How does this differ from content you show in the exhibition?
    • Maybe be able to show work-in-progress material as well?
    • It gives more of an artist background. It could be cool to have a behind the scenes section for each individual. Showing excerpts of the process.
  • Does your work also run online (in case of video / audio / code), and if so (and you'd want to show it) what are the requirements to run it online?
    • It would be great if video could run on the website. Though I'm also quite fine with either a Youtube or Vimeo embedding.
    • ASTRID thinks only show the actual 'real' work in the exhibition(unless the work online is part of/necessary for the work itself), video's of the process and a sort of tour through the exhibition would be nice but lets not make a 'virtual tour' let them come to the show itself!
  • What about your thesis, and what other background information could you incorporate in the online catalog?
    • Be able to upload files, like pdfs
    • A pdf download would be great yes. Otherwise you'd have to redesign the thesis for a webformat.
    • ASTRID Nice to have a print-version maybe but not mandatory, since it depends on the project/thesis itself.
  • How do you think a online catalog can benefit from its medium? (for instance: always changeable, could grow, can have comments, linking to external content, non-linear navigation etc etc)
    • Be able to update your project page up to the exhibition (and maybe even after, with documentation of the show?)
    • Be able to show if you've continued working on your project after Piet Zwart, and point to an external website for the update)
