I don't understand the technique at art.sy - It loads a lot of stuff when you open a page for the first time but interestingly when you navigate for another page, it does not seem to be loading anything except for a 1x1 gif. How come the URL changes (full change not just like hashbangs) but nothing particular is loaded from the server? Is there a name for this technique? Is there any framework supports this?
Sorry, I should have been more specific, I meant for the art.sy iPad app! A lot of what the website does is black-magic (or backbone js -whichever) to me :)
