New Media Artist #1 Mark Napier


Painter Mark Napier's is a software programmer by day, and a artist by night. He uses his painting experience and his professional expertise in programming to produce a style of new media art using computer technology. To create his art Napier used: Javascripts, HTML, and Perl. What seems like a jumble of color and shapes is actually a website that has been shredded in a random manner using Napier's manipulation of programming code. This same process can be applied to any website or the same multiple times, but no two images will be the same. Knowing what the palette originally looked like makes seeing elements of the actual web page easier to see.
