Finally have the first project for web-based art finished! I ended up using 'lightbox' to create my gallery because it's what I currently use for my personal website and I'm pretty familiar with it by now.. I also think it's a great way to display things in 'gallery' form.
I chose 5 netart sites to look into:

http://www.freewords.org/biennial/artist/commun.html
http://artport.whitney.org/commissions/thedumpster/index.html
http://www.devoid.co.uk/exquisitecopse/
http://www.liveplasma.com/
I really wanted to look into something that went beyond the norm.. and I'm pretty satisfied with what I came up with.
We've also begun to discuss our second project. I really think I want to work with a collection of materials as opposed to working with a text. I think it'd be a lot more fun to do this, and I also think I'll get more out of it. It will allow me to take some pictures of my own so that I can put the material in digital form (which I need some practice with!).. I have absolutely no clue as to what materials I want to work with yet.. better get going on that.
