So I was in the SF Museum of Modern Art<\/a> this afternoon and I was browsing the exhibit of work by Joseph Cornell. I was looking at a piece and suddenly realized that this looked just like the awesome website of Red Interactive<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A screenshot of the Red Interactive website:

The Joseph Cornell piece:

So I don’t know if the website was influenced by the artwork of Cornell or not, but it certainly has that look. And I think this is awesome.

I think it’s fantastic to take influences from the art world and incorporate them into the web world. If it’s just a coincidence I think that’s awesome too.<\/p>\n
