Masaki Fujihata began his career as a digital artist for a Computer Graphics and Animation company in the 80's. He successfully completed, Beyond the Pages in 1995-1997, an interactive system that generated graphic designs and gained him recognition. This interactive system design / software became a permanent collection of the ZKM, Centre for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Germany.
When I view this short three minute video I am reminded of products that we, the consumer, purchase. Leap Frog, for example, is an interactive learning toy that is useful in helping children learn their phonics more effectively. Another example of this interactive animation would be Tomb Raider or Sims. Today's gaming systems tantalize the viewer with vivid imagery and sleek interactive design. The player becomes an active participant by following directions and gaining incentive tokens for accelerating through a program quickly. The games involve the player giving him or her the illusion of actively participating in the game, as if they are really there.
Digital Art is another form of art that is recognized for its' installation art, virtual reality, paintings, drawings and sculpture. This kind of art is exciting because the viewer is more involved - we participate and select options in the software that guide our direction to a final destination.
