8 BIT WEB

From Rhizome Artbase
2011
Description

It is a Netart’s work which is related to the aesthetics of 8 bit or old computers and video games, like Atari and Commodore, among others. Also, it suggests the theme of Glitch or computing error, the error as a form of sense, that is displayed in the screenshots of windows and graphics going beyond the screen. This work shows an aesthetic of the virus when deconstructing a website, in other words revealing or working with the black box (which is hidden in computers) and designing a defunctionalized object. Furthermore, 8 bit comes with a copy and paste web, operation that is rather a codes collecting operation of different websites, being modified later and manipulated with the intention of (in some cases) generating error in them, error which is used to generate this deconstruction.
