Experimentalskeleton.com

Experimentalskeleton.com is a really very interesting site to explore and look around on. First of all, the website is very simple to use, with clear display names that contain links, and a clean well organized structure. I first began to explore the past projects the site contains. Some of the most interesting ones I saw were the ES Toy show exhibit, and the lotus flower installation that included pyrotechnics and grand beautiful flowers.  My favorite parts about these pieces are that they have a meaning and message. My favorite “past project” is the Take Your Breath Away piece that showed how much CO2 emissions we give off, how they are reabsorbed, and how the same amount of area for one parking space could equal a plot of land in the rainforest that would absorb 3,500 Lbs of CO2 per acre per year.
This seems like a very fascinating group of artists who, despite the money driven world we live in, continue to create art that serves a purpose, and can help people to learn about our existence and how we can improve it. These projects were sometimes inspiring, thought provoking and shed a new light on what can be considered art, and how we can create art out of anything we want.
