gui.art >>
These sites draw upon graphical user interface (GUI) standards to present critical analyses of how users interact with the Internet and how these standards help or hinder this interfacing. Some of these present unconventional modes of interaction through subversion of the programming code; others use the window-icon-menu-pointer (WIMP) interface to draw attention to commercial standards. Self-referential in nature, these sites show us that the interface, as our portal into the virtual world of the Internet, can be at the forefront of discussions concerning the (anti)aesthetic of the web, form/content, and the influence of commercial/technological standards on the artwork itself.
