This is a really strange piece of digital art. Essentially it looks like the scroll bar on safari web pages. However it is a bunch of these scroll bars placed next to each other. The piece is interactive so the viewer needs to “shake” the bars. This causes the image to move and blend all of the bars together. I thought that it was interesting because it allowed you to move the bars in a manner in which they normally don’t move. For instance, in the scroll bar on a safari webpage the scroll bar can move up and down. Here, the bars move into each other, bend, jump and move side to side, sometimes in a wavelike motion. This allows you to physically bend the scroll bar. It also reminds me of when my computer is slow or has an error and suddenly as you move the browser there are mirror images of that browser all over the computer screen. I also think its an interesting note that the screen has no scroll bar itself. Instead the scroll bar is all in the center. SO, I think this has a lot to do with placement, repetition and movement.
