"Shredder 1.0 interface was first created in 1998. The Shredder 1.0 web interface was created to be both an interactive as well as an artwork generator. To create an image the user inserts a url into the shredder 1.0 and the code is then reinterpreted by a Perl Script code created by Mark Napier." For me this is a good example of web art because it is taking a site's url and turning it into art proving anything can become a work of art. Also, because the results changes with each url no two pieces created are exactly the same. In the future I can see different or newer versions of shredder 1.0 take not only the url but also picture's, multiple url's, and shredding to create new pieces of art. Unfortunately I couldn't upload an image of the art work I created on shredder but if you go to http://www.potatoland.org/shredder/shredder.html and type a url into where it says location and hit enter you can create your own piece of digital art.
