[arg_discuss] ARGs & relational aesthetics

[James Wallis]

One pre-ARG promotional website that did a brilliant job of "getting it"  
and drawing people into its world, and that didn't receive nearly enough  
love for it, was the one for Galaxy Quest. It appeared to be a 30something  
media fanboy's tribute webpage to the Galaxy Quest TV show, including  
episode breakdowns, "lost" scripts, screenshots, big fonts, cheap tiled  
background, no sense of graphic design whatsoever, and over-use of  
blink-tags. Genius. All that was missing was a Geocities URL.

There's a later post-movie release version of it here:
