I have neglected the Illuminated Text Loops section of Illumination Gallery for too long. Over the past months I fell into the trap of emphasizing my animation skills over my general web design skills. The visual realm of animation is so much more tantalizing than the verbally defined overall dynamic of the web. Imagery intoxicates, language focuses. The very process of visualization differs radically from the process involved in verbal thought. Of course, it all meshes together in our brains. Visualization stems out of conceptualization. Or is it the other way around? Nowhere is confusion over this more evident than when we consider the meaning of love. Specifically: romantic love. Or passion? True love? True passion? Visualization juxtaposed against conceptualization in a dispassionate love note to Kat Bjelland. That is what i love her because... is about. i love her because... is composed of 22 image/text still frames, which form a text loop (i.e., the 22nd image/text links contextually back to the 1st). Using your mouse or trackball, click anywhere on the image/texts to make your way through the piece.
