Shredder >> Mark Napier Reconfigured browser that creates an alternative view of the Internet. ---------------------- ||| HIAFF 3.0 | university of colorado | department of art and art history | digital arts area | in conjunction with alt-x | atlas | blurr intro artwork profile (Mark Napier) interviews (Mark Napier) ------------------------ < gui.art [Intro] "The Shredder presents this global structure as a chaotic, irrational, raucous collage. By altering the HTML code before the browser reads it, the Shredder appropriates the data of the web, transforming it into a parallel web. Content becomes abstraction. Text becomes graphics. Information becomes art." --Mark Napier Despite the dramatically altered appearance, all of the information is there and the links are live. Otherwise mundane websites are converted into colorful works of abstract art. Although usability of the interface is sacrificed, sites are imbued with a new aesthetic value.
