Electricity Comes From Another Planet
The website ElectricityComesFromAnotherPlanet.com by Angelo Plessas is colourful and interactive net art. Plessas says that his inspiration for this project came from the movie Tron. He wanted this piece to be romantic as well as hypnotic. The website is basically made up of neon lines and a sun that acts as the ball, which viewers can drag around.
Angelo Plessas is an artist who lives in Greece. His works includes installations, prints, drawings and murals; however, recently he has been focusing on internet and culture. For this series of projects, which focuses on digital media, he created the Angelo Foundation.
I don’t necessarily see the “romantic” side of this piece, although it might have something to do with Tron. Nevertheless, I do see this piece as hypnotic and enjoy that it is interactive. It is so simple, but ever since I have discovered Plessas work, I find myself going back to the website when I am bored and just playing around.
Another interactive net project from Plessas is www.towersandpowers.com, which is also colourful and fun.
