"Tragicomedia (Tragic Comedy)" is a net art piece featuring a whimsical guitar-playing skeleton and his song, which loops repeatedly. Users are able to mouse over smaller images of the same skeleton, which each open their mouths to begin singing the same refrain, though these versions do not loop. In effect, the user is allowed to control a small chorus of singing skeletons that each overlap each other, creating new rhythms and combinations of the central refrain.
