here is the link to my box css page format.
my next question is about how you formatting text.
I would like to talk a little more about boxes vs. background and where div tags should be in the html to refer to the style sheet.

Lev Manovich, “The Anti-Sublime Ideal in Data Art” (Berlin, August 2002).

Dimensionality is an interesting way of understanding new media. Often I find that with new media art artists are considering the fact that they are discovering new things... I find it more interesting to imagine that we are becoming more aware of dimentionality with different mediums.

Digital mediums have come around with some strange effects. They are seemingly labourless. I guess art is always condemned to this idea. When things are created so well they seem as if they have just apperated into being rather than many years of labor and many stages of creation.

The layered aspect of digital tools is fascinating. On one hand designing from a style sheet seems to be a revolution a complete restructuring of a design process. On the other hand is just a reformation of rulers and text guides that were used for design in the past.

"This is why I refer to this type of new media as “meta-media.” A meta-media object contains both language and meta-language – both the original media structure (a film, an architectural space, a sound track) and the software tools that allow the user to generate descriptions of this structure and to change this structure."

a. What is your team's subject matter - what is in the exhibition you're creating? You should be able to describe this in a sentence or two.

We are curating the lighting in the Spurtlock museum. We are physically categorizing the type of light bulbs that are present and curating information about where and how the lights are used in a space with a given subject matter.

b. What are your design/communication goals? (what is the perspective offered by your exhibition on the objects being represented? For example, are you exhibiting the work of a single maker, counter to anthropological musuem norms that represent makers as anonymous members of an exotic culture?)

We are looking at the ways light effect illumination physically and metaphorically.

c. What is the organizational structure you will use? (geography, date, gender, function, narrative, etc.)

Type of light bulb will curate our different sub catagories of information:
-Wattage
-Distance of light from object
-Brightness
-Location
-What is the light illuminating
-etymology of kiosk (shadow maker)

d. What will your kiosk's architecture be? (see this site for basic examples and read this for more concerns related to problems of information architecture) And how does it serve your stated goals?

We will have a kiosk with an museum object on top that will have an illumination system that will change with the light that you have selected. We will decide the scope after we visit the museum again.
