When playing this new game online, I became interested to blog about it because it’s another sign of interactive art getting recognized. This game was a lot similar to another blog I talked about in the zoom quilt but in this case the art relied more on the words than images. The game is an interactive encyclopedia of the sizes of things in all of existence from the string theory to the entire space time continuum. The words and image both work together to clarify each other. The words tell what things are, and the images let viewers compare the sizes of different objects to one another.
The style of the game gives the opposite of a narrative because it lets viewers compare anything they want with each other. All the images are not detailed because they give a general meaning which is its size. The words and images communicate only the idea of size and because of that the maker can add more content because they know the message of their work. The words give a more realistic meaning to the images, to further show the size of everything around us. Without the words there would be a confusing bunch of illustrations and without the images the words couldn’t really be compared to each other.
