My main takeaways from this article is the contrast between the modern-day internet and the internet of old. What is now just like the rest of the world — monetized and corporate, used to be a free grassroots community. From the advent of the internet, because of the lack of rules or precedents of what should or shouldn’t be done, web artists took a new route which was completely different than anything before. Because it was such a new medium meant that there were no guidelines and everything was original and new. It is hard nowadays to come up with original ideas because the internet is a huge expanse of information and people. Nobody could ever go over the entire internet. I had already had the idea that I wanted to do something really abstract and psychedelic for my final project since day one. This article is encouraging to me in a way. Even though the internet has progressed so much and so many things have already been done, no two websites are exactly the same. Coding and design are very personal and work differently based on a person-to-person basis. I feel even more excited to make my final project than ever.
