Web Sightings

What are your favorite video clips? June’s picks were submitted by Britta Beeck, a Maple Grove resident who has worked on web accessibility issues in Minnesota since 2002. Believing that the World Wide Web’s technology should be creatively exploited to learn about new possibilities for promoting diversity and advancing our understanding of cultural, physical and other differences, she is hopeful that someday the web will truly be universal. Britta has built web sites for groups including VSA arts of Minnesota, the Minnesota STAR Program and other organizations and companies. See samples of her work at www.brittabeeck.info.

“Elektrokardiogramm”

Can medical devices be included in art? Yes, it’s possible, according to the German band Kraftwerk. Kraftwerk’s “Elektrokardiogramm” shows that medical technology can be presented in pleasing and fun ways. “This gives me a new cool attitude towards electrocardiograms and other medical devices,” Britta said. “Maybe I could also create something cool like Kraftwerk and change what is downbeat into something upbeat.”

“Evolution of Dance”
