What prompted my interest in Flash-based design years ago was the work of Joshua Davis, who built a website called praystation.com. The site, designed very minimally, was an almost-daily showcase of visual effects techniques built solely with Flash technology. As time went on, the daily experiments (which were included with source code) that existed as components to use in the interactive products of others became increasingly more complex and expressive.
What John Maeda (formerly of MIT, now department chair of graphic design at RISD) began years ago with his programming-based graphic experiments for clients like Shiseido lives on in Davis' myriad animations and exhibitions, in the same pioneering spirit as well.[link]
