The whale hunt is an artistic piece depicting the slaughter
of a whale for food by Alaskan Inuit hunters on an ice shelf. The piece is a
depiction of the hunting down of a whale and
Their were 3,214
pictures of the whale hunt taken by the photographer Johnathan Harris’s and the
team that came with him to document the process of harvesting a whale for
sustenance.
I think that this
piece is an interesting piece of art because of its simple interactivity in the
web page, all you need to do is scroll to the right and go through the thorough
sequence of events. The web site is simplistic with a white background and
This piece is
interesting because it is utilizing computer science and web design to interact
with an ancient process of harvesting a
whale. This piece of art gets intriguing once it is opened the slide show
starts off and starts to bring you through the process of discovering how the
photographers journey was to Alaskan Inuit communities.
I think that this
website is a great example of streamlined web design and graphical art to
convey the vast emptiness of the Alaskan ice sheets and the almost ritualistic
harvesting of a whale in Alaska.
