Historical events captured in an abstract manner have the ability to produce a
profound effect on the emotions . The purpose of this research is to create a time -based
computer media work , using dialogue from playwright Anne Nelson's The Guys , based
on the September 11 , 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City , with
emphasis on visual imagery , particularly the use of line and color , to enhance the
dramatic and emotional content of the piece . The stylistic direction of the thesis work is
greatly influenced by selected works of abstract expressionists Robert Motherwell and
Franz Kline , whose artwork was shaped by the social backdrop of World War II . |
