First off, Artbot loves people who "create the space to remix categories." Hell, yes.
Those who "embrace creativity as an action without thought of profit!"
This makes Artbot's circuits feel warm.
Artbot doesn't like the fact that ascertaining exactly what Mess Hall is is a thoroughly postmodern adventure. All robots hate postmodernism. Regardless, the site seems to reflect the people in organization and design. You have to get your hands (claw) dirty searching through the site for meaning and answers. You have to dig. Web sites don't always have to be so clean and streamlined. Mess Hall's web site has not been updated recently, but it is trying to remix the categories on the web.
Continue on, Mess Hall! Artbot gives your site a grade of A.

The notion of Mess Hall, and the way they operate is Artist/Activist at its best. Lots of events put together by people who are passionate and willing to put their money, time, and effort where their mouth is.
ReplyDeleteI agree that websites don't always need to be sleek and clean. oftentimes when they really represent the work an organization does, they won't be, and it really allows them to reflect the character of the group.
oh i really like what you're saying, but there's a big part of me that really really can't let go of using a website as a communication tool. and good communication is marked by clarity, organization, and keeping your audience in mind. this will be an interesting conversation in class. :)
