This paper presents an evaluation of new media art project AV Clash. AV Clash is a Web-based artistic project that allows the creation of audiovisual compositions, consisting of combinations of animations with sounds retrieved from online database Freesound.org. The evaluation is based on the answers to an online questionnaire. It has an experience focus, while also taking into account usability aspects. The questionnaire was structured following five main areas: sound, visuals and multisensoriality; amount and customization of content; flexibility of manipulation; usability and interactivity; creativity, playfulness and engagement. The concept of aesthetic interaction, relevant to the project and its evaluation, is presented. The results of the questionnaire are then discussed, followed by a reflection on the methodology used. Conclusions are reached regarding the five different areas of the questionnaire, and the adequacy of its experience focus. Usability problems are also identified and discussed. Finally, paths for further work are outlined.
