Artist Statement
As webcrafters, we are folk singers and candles, PalmPilots and Bronze Age traders, we are monarchs and heartbreaks, and cats snoozing in sunny ruins. We are links and the destroyers of links, as we are lives and the destroyers of lives. It’s no secret that the web’s impact on life in the 21st century has been one part terrible and one part wonderful. It’s that contrast that gives the web its vibrancy, and it highlights the seriousness of working to make the web a kind and glittering playground for humanity.
