Comment on Mark Napier's "Shredder"

The Shredder by Mark Napier is a digital artwork that changes the outlook of a normal web page.
Firstly, formal instructions can be found here in the work, you have to follow the instructions or rules to get the work change. Here we can see that changing the outlook is actually being fixed.

Secondly, the work places more importance on the concept rather than the art object. As we can see that the words and images in the work cannot be seen clearly or being distorted, we can assume that the objects are not the real focus. From Mark, the work is to "present the global internet structure as a chaotic, irrational, raucous collage". This confirmed that the concept and idea is put on the top priority rather than the distorted images or words and lines.

Thirdly, the work places importance on the event and audience participation. This work will only work when someone type in a link, so the participation of audience is a must. The audience somehow contribute to the final appearance of the Shredder.

Fourthly, the Shredder also has an interest in random events and or chance. Audience can type in whatever links they want freely. This is by randomness to make the work perform.

Lastly, borrowing and appropriation are part of Shredder too. It has to appropriate data from other websites to make it a parallel web. And in order to make the final look, it has to borrow other websites to display the distorted images and words.
