A wonderful website that weaves a daily tapestry of new and innovative presences on the web is Digital Thread. It has become my mentor, and in educational technology, the role of the mentor is to expose associates and peers to new pathways, and that is is certainly how Digital Thread has served to nourish me over the past few weeks. Every day are new pathways, new discoveries.
One such discovery is Pianographique, a wonder of digital design inspiring me with awe as I engage in the multifaceted, multi-layered concepts of design, creativity, and interactivity. It is a festival of images, sounds, and interactivity. I have a friend who studied cello, but gave it up after he heard Yo-Yo Ma, believing he would never be able to achieve that level of performance. I happen to think that was short-sighted since his knowledge and skill enabled him to understand and value Yo-Yo Ma in a deeply meaningful way. Pianographique is the Yo-Yo Ma of digital web design.
Even though it is finite, the design concepts and performative gestures seem inexhaustible. Ater a couple of hours of fooling around, I still haven't found my way through the entire site. I have yet to create my own "piano."
WARNING: DO NOT GO TO THIS WEBSITE. IT IS DANGEROUS TO YOUR SCHEDULE and WELL BEING. SURFERS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO DISAPPEAR IN THE DIGITAL ABYSS OF NOW, LOSING ALL TOUCH WITH TIME AND REALITY.
