Visionaries
A man stands on the edge of a cliff. Before him is the sea, waves crashing against the rocks. It’s at this moment he makes a decision based upon what he sees. Does he see a mixture of H20 and NaCl teaming with life in its thousands of forms, or the ‘deep blue of God’s tear ebbing and flowing with whispers of the holy spirit’? Whatever that man chooses, science or art, he will always have the capacity for genius.
Looking at the below list, it’s amazing how fine the line between their work and these Visionaries. I was very close to putting Mahir here simply because of the ease with which his site – the net equivalent of Dogme 95 – became so synonymous with people’s idea of what the net is about. So instead I’ve tried to stick with sites that stretch the capabilities of the web without the need for a broadband connection [in 1999].
