RESEARCH & EXPERIMENTS
As an art piece I decided to create a website that will endlessly be stuck loading itself. The site can be found on www.sisyphonus.com. People waste endless hours viewing loading bars and I thought it would be appropriate to bring some self-consciousness into this viewing experience and the emotions it evokes. When a loading bar first begins it often progresses fairly fast and then slows down. During this process, most people experience a feeling of optimistic excitement to a pessimistic frustration. This website is meant to draw out the emotions of waiting and allow one to self-reflect on life and your own ability to stay level-headed throughout a process where the destination is unknown. This analogy can be compared to human life. I was also inspired by Waiting for Godot and The Myth of Sisyphus (which the title plays on: Sisyphus + onus (onus means “wait” in Latin)).
