Among all its possible forms and interpretations, art is representative of one’s interaction via cultural, biological, emotional, or other stimuli. With elections underway and a new Flash player in the works, I am reminded of how expressive Flash has been for myself and others, when used as an artistical outlet.

During the 2000 presidential election, my friend Scott Bower and I expressed our thoughts on the chaotic nature of that election by creating a flash interactive voting application gone wrong. The app mirrored our feelings of frustrations artistically, through various visual and audio elements . It was interesting to experiment with something that provided someone else with an abstract, yet concrete vision of your thoughts. I guess that’s what art is when you break down it’s essence .

With people like Jared Tarbell and movements like those at processing.org, it will be interesting to see what people are able to do with the new Flash player when it is released.
