The DasArts.nl website combines
  innovation, system and user-fr
 iendliness. Its colour-coded ma
 in windows and sub windows sche
 me is a reference to scenograph
 ic blocking on a theatre stage,
  but also to archive and card c
 atalogue systems. Playing with
 these windows turns navigation
 into choreography and movement.

 Navigation within the website h
 as been kept as flexible as pos
 sible, so that you can choose h
 ow you want to access the infor
 mation. There are three basic w
 ays to navigate:

 1. The eight main windows are a
  general source of information.
  Clicking within each of them r
 eveals sub windows with further
  information. Clicking in the b
 lack area outside a window will
  take you back to the previous
 level.

 2. A succession of verbal links
  to the contents of the website
 , the so-called ‘bread crumbs’.
  Clicking on the words in this
 index gives you access to the i
 nformation you desire.

 3. A ground plan of coloured li
 nes at the top of the screen sh
 ows the spatial positioning of
 all the main windows in the ‘pl
 aying field’. Clicking on the l
 ines makes the information visi
 ble.

 When the cursor symbol changes
 from a finger into a hand, you
 can move the windows around. Th
 is movement generates a sound s
 pecifically composed for each c
 hapter. Clicking on the text ba
 r at the bottom of the screen g
 ives you information about the
 most recent activities at DasAr
 ts.
