Not long after the first multimedia web browser was introduced, artists began using the web to promote traditional forms of art like painting and sculpture. However, soon they began to use the web as a medium for new art. In May 1995 ada’web was released to the world. Ada’web was a site where artists worked with computer technicians to produce works of art online. It was run like a gallery with a curator for several years and has since been acquired by the Walker Art Center. It is interesting to see what has been done in the past with online media. The site can be a little confusing to navigate, but it was created as an art site, not a traditional, informational site.
Each time you enter the site the page looks different. If you click on the the a, you will get to the index page, and you can navigate from there.
In the index under projects, I think "loaded 5x" and "blindspot" are really interesting.
