Vector Park


Patrick Smith is a brilliant programmer-artist creator of vectorpark. His first work I ever saw was "feed the head" and I was awed by both the clever programming and astonishing graphics. Smith's work is simply flawless, no doubt art for the internet era, his thematics are usually surrealism and magic-realism that bring to mind the short films of Jan Svankmajer or the Brothers Quay, this way he mixes perfection in all concept, visuals and programming. Some of his works are more like an interactive riddle (windowsill is his first release as a full game) others eye-candy java toys...either way you'll be amazed by all 5 "games" in Vectorpark, visit it now!
