'HypArt' stands for Hyper-Art and is a artistical equivalent to 'Hyper-Text'. <BR> The thought is that a <B>single</B> picture is created by <B>several</B> people. Therefore the image is being divided into squares and each artist contributes one of them.(see <A HREF="#2">'How to contribute'</A>)<BR> Since it is the aim to get a single picture as a result, the parts should match their neighbours. So it is only possible to add a piece when there is already a completed part to put a new one next to it. Of course it is also imposssible to add a new part, if one or more of its neigbours are currently under construction. <BR> There is a page with more information about the <A HREF="/HypArt/texts/more-info.html">Project's Background</A>. <DT><A NAME="2"><H2>How to contribute ?</H2></A> <IMG SRC="/HypArt/icons/welt1.gif" WIDTH=88 HEIGHT=89 ALIGN=RIGHT> <DD>If you want to take part in the H<I>yp</I>A<I>rt</I> project and draw one piece of the picture, you have to select (e.g. press with your mouse onto it) an image with 'Free to Rent!' written on. This will get you to a fill-out form where you must enter your name and email address in.<BR> After the part has been successfully reserved, you will get <STRONG>three</STRONG> days to draw your picture. After its completion you have to send it to <A HREF="/people/klaus/">me</A> (kl<nspm>au</nspm>s<nspm>@wor</nspm>k.de). There are further details about how <A HREF="/HypArt/texts/how-to.html">send files within an email</A>. <DT><A NAME="3"><H2>Who can contribute ?</H2></A> <DD><strong>Everybody!</STRONG> I strongly believe that everybody is capable of producing art, so there's no limition in participants. <P> Because there is only a limited number of squares available within each project I'd ask you to contribute only <B>one</B> picture to give as many people as possible a chance to participate. <DT><A NAME="4"><H2>How does the picture should look like?</H2></A> <DD>There's <B>no</B> restriction to the theme. You can move the image in every direction you feel like. But your contribution to the picture should fulfill some requirements: <UL> <LI> Pictures you send should fit to the adjacent pieces. The idea is to produce a single image. So please don't just scale some gifs, you had lying around to the proper size.<BR> <LI>The picture must not be fully 'hand drawn'. But it's probably impossible to make it match the other pieces, if you don't modify it manually. <LI>You are also encouraged to put 'unfinished' elements in you piece. This means that you may not just use your part to draw one single image. Let elements of your art extend to the borders, ending openly, so that others can carry on the with your ideas <LI> The size of the your image <STRONG>has</STRONG> to be 200 x 200 pixels. <LI> The format should be 'GIF', "Animated-GIF (89a)" or "JPEG", since so far it's the only reasonable formats for color inline images supported in the WWW.<BR> </Ul> <DT><A NAME="5"><H2>What Browser do I need ?</H2></A> <DD>It would be fine if your browser supports inline images so that you actually are able to see the picture above. But it's not necessary for contributions, since you will be given the chance to download the pieces of the picture which you will need for your part. But your browser <STRONG>must</STRONG> support fill-out forms to enter name ,email etc. when you want to reserve a piece for you. <BR>If the picture above is out of order (i.e. parts don't form a perfect square together) your browser does not display <Code> <PRE> <IMG SRC=...</PRE></CODE> correctly. I've watched this behaviour at the Mosaic for Windows. If your screensize allows you can enlarge the Mosaic-Window to maximum to prevent the effect. </DL> <P> <CENTER> <IMG SRC="/HypArt/icons/welt3.gif" WIDTH=91 HEIGHT=91> </CENTER> <BR> <DL> <DT><H2> <A HREF="/HypArt/misc/OuterArt.html">There's more art out there... </A> </H2> <DD><A NAME="6">Links</A> to other collaboration art-projects in the net, other art-related Servers in the WWW and to Lists to art-related information.<P> </DL> <A NAME="6"> <H2>HypArt in the 'Press':</H2></A> <DL> <DT><B>Arte</B><BR> <DD> The HypArt project was mentioned in the "Arte" magazine - a japanese colleges & schools magazine.
