Multimedia

What is multimedia?

The Internet is now often a means for multimedia. When a Website incorporates multiple mediums such as video, sound, and text then it becomes a multimedia web site.

Just like the name hints the definition of multimedia is a combined use of several means of expression (media).

This is a very open definition and the multimedia that you will see below is defined as a delivery of multiple mediums viewed on a PC.

Multimedia Myth!

Multimedia is not just Compact Discs, you can have Shopping mall displays, billboards, books, and much more which falls under the multimedia name.

Reinterpretation of the Pantheon:

This 'Space' was created as a gallery for Saatchi & Saatchi's Interactive Division. It was also created as part of completing my Multimedia BA Honors. Under Cultural Perspectives, it is a Reinterpretation Assessment. The Brief is to take a piece of art and remove it from the sociopolitical contexts of the main stylistic movement, then Reinterpret that piece of art into a new stylistic movement.

This was my Intention:
To reinterpret the 'physical' internal Architectural Structure of the Pantheon, built under the power of Hadrian in Rome (A.D. 117-138), into a minimalist 'Virtual' Architectural structure, taking on the sociopolitical nuances of current Americanized society.
