WordLab and Soulbath

Feed: Immaterial World
"The Internet is changing everything, we hear, but we hear suprisingly little about how it's changing the erotics of our relationship to stuff. And I suspect those changes are nothing minor. I suspect, indeed, that we stand on the threshold of an era in which collecting, the consummate act of consumption, is more intense and intimate than ever... I'm talking about the pursuit of the immaterial, of the disembodied, of information pure and fluid. I'm talking about my MP3s."

WordLab
"Nomenclature + Phraseology + Punsmanship Exorcises"

Soulbath, volume one
The most amazingly interactive thing I've seen on the web, designed by the firm Hi, Res!, whose main website is just as intricate. Requires the Flashplug-in.

Salon: Greyscale Paradise
"Here are some of the interactive delights you'll find when you visit Soulbath, the 'greyscale paradise' that was unleashed on the Web Thursday: a tic-tac-toe game you'll never win; Pong for lonely computers; an animation of a little girl with a big, big gun; an online music mixer that lets you create your own techno songs, and lots and lots of ASCII art, unlike any other you've ever seen."
