Title: Shredder
Artist:
Mark Napier
Year: 1998
This work is
typical of much digital
art because it
is an artwork
that places importance on
1.Formal instructions
2.The concept rather than
the art object
3.the event and
audience participation
4.an interest in
random events and/or chance
5.borrowing or appropriation
1.
SHREDDER has
a definite input order to complete the riving .
As soon as
it receive the website
it makes the original image
of the page an abstract
one .
2.
It is obvious that
the appearance of
the processed website
is just a chaos.
It make browser
confused and have
no ideas of
what it is.
What we see when we browse the Web is a
carefully designed veneer, an orderly facade that conceals the jungle of code
used in its making. Mark Napier's Shredder 1.0 lets us peek behind the curtain, revealing a colorful jumble
of text and images. Enter a Web address in the location field at the top of Shredder 1.0's Web interface,
or choose from one of two dozen pre-selected URLS, and the Shredder literally
deconstructs the original site, slicing and dicing its text, imagery, and
source code to form abstract compositions.（by anonym）
3.
The main event
is typing the
website on pane . Audience can directly see
the result of
SHREDDER.
4.
The random mostly
reflex in the uncertainty of image that
SHREDDER will present.
5.
Clearly it is
another annotation
of the original
website. So it seems like
a borrowing or appropriation . But it
is not accurate
because it subverts
what its source
shows. To some extent ,it
is a kind
of recreation.
Kelsie: Hi linda! I think that Shredder clearly has a borrowing from the shredder which is used in daily life. It is interesting to make a life stuff become an Internet idea and the media of creating arts.
回覆刪除P.S: the second picture is funny since the man's eyes are covered by the doors which creates an aethestic work.
