Much web art is based on plug-ins and programming. This yields some truely fantastic and fascinating work. In 5 Small Falls I'm creating a more painterly expression. Each page is created for its individual visual impact. The individual pages are linked to one another in a series of maze-game-like levels -- five levels of five pages each.
Neo-Cubism
The technological developments and constraints
of a media tend to influence the expression in that media. Originally,
HTML, the language of the internet, permited only rectangular images appearing
above a backround consisting of a repeating rectangular image. While these
early constraints are lessened for current browsers through the use of
java, javascript, cascading style sheets, and DHTML, I have grown fond
of the restrictions of the earlier browsers -- sort of like playing the
blues even though a wider selection of chords is available in jazz.

That Will Revolutionize Civilization", "Low Budget Side Dishes", "Alex
and David" , "Running Down the Rockys", "Carsick in Brown County", "Pillow
Mix", "The Building Always Wins", and many episodes of the widely unavailable
series Eyes. I created the installation: "The Mother and Father
of Mathematics", the performance piece "Introduction and Aesthetic Lecture"
