Mark Napier, painter turned new media artist, creates online images that "demonstrate a refined awareness of color and shape." Napier's piece Shredder 1.0 is a website where participants enter a web address and receive the website with jumbled code so that it resembles its original form, but is completely different. I think this is interesting because, in traditional media, an artist uses pieces to create a whole. For instance, a sculpture is physically made from other things and if one of those elements is removed, everything is different. Digital art is on a screen and not something we can physically touch, but Napier's work illustrates the inherent similarity in all art.
The image is of my shredded tumblr.
