Niiiice side panel navigation. Good idea since his website holds on a one-pager scroll.

Live Visualization by LIA software art
The Austrian artist Lia – one of the early pioneers of Software and Net Art – has been creating digital art, installations and sound works since 1995. Her Internet works combine various traditions of drawing and painting with the aesthetic of digital images and algorithms.

For each of the 33 Songs a separate visual piece was prepared depending on the mood of the music as well as on the content of the texts.

The software tool was programmed using the open source software OpenFrameworks.
