Examples of Artist's Web Design:

Bowling Alley website (1995) in collaboration with Sawad Brooks, Shu Lea Cheang, and Christa Erickson Walker Art Center
http://bowlingalley.walkerart.org

The Bowling Alley Website features a a body of interlinked electronic texts by 10 Twin Cities artists; reflections on access, power and desire from the fringe of the cyberzone. The BOWLING ALLEY website functions as a demolition apparatus; assigning each of the Minneapolis 10 a pin # and unique typographic identity, then setting the Minneapolis 10's collective hypertext in a ten pin matrix. Cyberbowlers break-in to the texts, alien bodies who can also write-in, contributing to a growing body of alien texts.

Write objectives for your site by asking yourself:

What will drive users to your Web site?

What will be their feelings and motivations?

What will they hope to accomplish by searching your site?

Can users take several paths to achieve the same goals? Are all paths clearly marked?

ME VS. YOU (features your interests & not what users expect from the site)

Example: A real-estate Web site highlights its annual golf tournament.
