We took long enough about it ("you sure did" etc
etc), but finally the results are in. Many apologies to all
those who were losing sleep over them.
Thanks to everyone that entered, making this whole shebang
a superb success. The entries were so diverse and of such
high quality that all the judges came out with different favourites.
We'll print some comments from them later...
Next years competition will be organised a little better.
I think we expected 20 entries, not the mighty sum of 70.
How entries were judged
The competition used the classic figure skating model of judgement,
with judges awarding scores out of 6.0 for artistic and technical
merit, giving a grand total out of 12.0.
With the judges scores in, the highest and lowest scores were
removed, and an average calculated from the remaining scores.
Wat ist TableArt?
In short, TableArt is a just a bunch of pictures, designs
or creations made with the fantasmagorical technology of tables
in HTML.
The art bit is linked to the beauty of the creations, the
limitations in the technologyand experimentation with these
constraints. Okay.... so it's not really art. It's naive net
art.
TableArt was previously featured on a website called pilipala
(which turned into graphci) as a small set of speedily created
compositions.
The Judges
Big thanks go out to the following for their evil judging
skills:
