This is Wim Delvoye's website. He is a Belgian neo-conceptual artist known for his inventive and often shocking projects... At first this website looks really cool. I do like that this website is interactive and it's like a Sims game, but other than that this website is horrible!! He even has a billboard looking thing saying WIM City, so I think his inspiration for this website was Sim City. He also stole the font of Coke and Disney, which I don't think he is aloud to do. First off, this website doesn't even have anything about the "artist". It doesn't have a bio about him or where he is from or why he does this art, which is not a good thing (or if it does I can't find it). If someone is doing a website about their own artwork they have to have some kind of bio about themselves. His website is very hard and annoying to navigate through. You have to stay (scroll on) on the grass if you just want to look at the overall site. If you don't stay on the grass and you are just looking through the site, but you don't actually click on any of the buildings then it will pick the last building that your mouse went over and open that up. His website is very strange and confusing. None of the buildings make sense and he spelt a lot of things wrong. His website also takes a while to load. I am in a web design class and I have to design 3 basic websites. The websites can't be too complicated or have any big pictures because that will make the website slower to load. This website shows me what not to do when I am designing my website. I do not like the artist of this website. Most of his work that he calls art is not art at all!! He thinks tattooing pigs is art when actually it's illegal, inhumane, and is just plain wrong (it is also not art)! The art work in the building labeled "Cloaca" (Coca Cola font) is not even in the same category has art. I hope people are entertained by looking through his website. His website is not designed well at all.
