Mark Napier's Shredder 1.0 is a web interface that he has developed that allows the user to input a web address, and see it in a whole new light. The program rearranges the code in a way that creates a new piece of art with each new webpage. This means that there is an almost infinite number of sites waiting for reinterpretation.Shredder 1.0 is like many of Napier's projects in that they rely on interaction from the audience. Without other people creating websites, there would be nothing to see, nothing to alter, without the audience typing in a url, Shredder 1.0 would just sit, lonely, wasting webspace.
His other projects are Landfill, which makes art out of the audience's "unwanted e-mail, obsolete data, HTML, SPAM or any other digital debris"(http://potatoland.com/landfill), Feed which interacts with an input url, and Waiting Room, which is a "moving painting"(http://www.potatoland.org/waitingroom/) that changes based on the actions of one of 50 users who see the same screen.
Above is a segment of the image created by Shredder 1.0 based on the school's web page.
