BAFTA winners 2003 - cool interactive stuff on the web
The British Academy of Film and Television (BAFTA) also gives out prices for best games and best interactive content. Usually it is quite interesting taking a look at their nominees and winners in the interactive category (includes both games and interactive "genres" on- and offline) - they dig out some pretty good web "content". They recently gave out their 2003 prices.

This year so far I have noted/looked at:
Poissionrouge - by clicking on the window, you get to a simple map of a tube rute and you can "stop" at different stations and explore small sites for each. Their Turner Gallery stop is a visit to an art museum where you get to play Mondrian or Warhol etc with colours and patterns. A nice way to teach children art.

Alleph.net is a beautiful graphical exploration of identity - building on the house metaphor.

Starfinder is a fun little window into an astronaut's life; with mad facts (how do astronauts go to the toilet?) and including two addictive games.

Greenwich Millenium Village - for its design: the flying insect gives you a very tactile feeling of "genuine" spatiality.

Oh, and they gave Zelda - The Windwaker the price for best adventure game in 2003...My colleagues gave me a gamecube with this game as a ph.d. graduation gift :). We have nice gift giving habits at the game center!
