summary of net-art project

net art site

Started with the idea of a non-liner concept – having each page a portal to various different pages. Like doors or gate ways

Felt it was very complicated and overkill. ‘more not always better’

Changed to a liner story line. Image after image after image. Example of this is www.(60x1).com

I liked the interactivity the net brought to the art and wanted to involve the viewer as much as possible.

I was looking at dada and came across duchamps moralise which he had given a moustache. Like the idea of using recognisable images or people. Eg George Bush

Started with different channels from a main page but broke it down to three

Joined all cele pages together
Colours
Domestic

Main element in dream weaver I used was roll-overs. Idea of movement (interactive)

Put hypertext in as links and to provoke questions

Wanted to use sound – idea of sound collage – build up of the same sound

All images used form the internet (harvesting) not using mine removed the personal element to it.
Wider availability of recognisable pics.
