Description:
The concept of Cryptogram was first realised in the form of an interactive installation (at The Butterfly Effect exhibition at the Műcsarnok (Kunsthalle) Budapest in January 1996). Because the project is closely related to digital communication through the Internet, soon a Cryptogram World Wide Web site was created. On the pages, one can find a downloadable program for encrypting texts into virtual "sculptures", the WWW-version of the original installation as an example illustrating the project, and a simple game explaining the idea. Due to the nature of the Internet, the site is under continuous reconstruction; in the near future, a "fusion" between the sites and the exhibited interactive installation will be constructed, in which the "installation" will act as a "full powered studio", where one can try to use all the capabilities of the Cryptogram-method to create his/her own keys for encrypting messages and communicating with others using Cryptograms.
