idk about all those 90s buzzwords like "multimedia" hah.. but this is a really beautiful art project. Really. The sound/music overlay, various mixed media and styles as you scroll, way you did overlays and motion, storytelling, design, pastiche... like I'm also surprised how good it looks on a phone, but it's not so much the technical skill which is obvious, but the way you put it together and the choices you made about imagery and design. It's really lovely. This should be used as a teaching example to show people what can be done building their own art on the web. I guess that's a 90s idea (but oil painting is a much older idea, and people still spend years or lifetimes to become good painters whose paintings are not just skillful but meaningful and speak to people).

This is wonderful. A shining example of how art can be tailored to its medium, and when doing so, elevates both.

On a side note: many of the pages on the site — with multiple large images, video, and sound — use 1/4th the data than of a standard article on CNN.com without an adblocker, even some with an adblocker.
