Abstract

Hypermedia computer programs are an important part of today's educational curricula, and the computer interface plays a critical role in the interpretation of information in these programs. Students are fascinated with the amount of information that is available, but they often feel overwhelmed because they don't know how to organize the information into a coherent whole. The ability to synthesize information is hampered by interface designs that separate information into fixed categories and hierarchical structures rather than emphasizing relationships. Electronic artists are developing new forms of audiovisual discourse that reflect the networks of associations in interactive electronic communication. This paper discusses the parallels between the semantic structures in various forms of electronic art and the complex information matrices in electronic communication. This paper shows how electronic art can provide new perspectives for hypermedia interface design.
