The Simulator 游戏

The Simulator is a photo-based web work which was prepared by Canadian artist Garnet Hertz as a B.F.A. graduating exhibition at the University of Saskatchewan in the spring of 1997. The basic premise of the project was simple - to attempt to translate the daily routine of an individual into a website.
The project is composed of 330 media elements - 113 photo-based images and 217 individual webpages. Images were shot on 35mm print film and post-processed in Adobe Photoshop on Apple Macintosh computers. Webpages were manually built using SimpleText and BBEdit text editors.
Since its release, The Simulator has won numerous online awards and press coverage. Selected online awards include Cool Site of The Day, Yahoo! Pick of the Week, ProjectCool 'Sighting', Microsoft Network's Pick of The Day (UK), telemarksnett's Top 100 sites (Norway), Yahoo Internet Life's 'The Charts': Guide to The Best of the Best, Cool Central Award, LaPremiere - Sites of the Day (Switzerland), and 'Internet Cool Site of the Day Website' at Internet Magazine. The site has been featured at Compuserve Netherlands, 'Grouse', AOL' s EZConnect, and The Kolbo Magazine Weekly Internet Column (Israel).
Reviews of The Simulator have been printed in The Times (UK), The Telegraph (UK), Morgenbladet (Oslo, Norway), The Sunday Daily News (Halifax, Canada), Aftonbladet:kultur (Sweden), branches-vous.com's 'Webinette' (Montreal, Canada), and Yahoo Internet Life (Japan).
