Mark Napier is an artist whose works are influenced by his background in painting. Each piece has similar qualities to a painting despite being done on a computer. He uses and interface where a person can type in a URL and the website is jumbled using Napier's design, producing a fragmented image. It also allows a user to be directly involved in the creation of the art work, due to a persons ability to decide what website will be used. I found his work attractive because I have never really thought about what a website looks like before it is all good and done. Just by looking at my screen now, I wonder what it would look like if the text and boxes were jumbled and formed some kind of other image. Napiers work seems to go with the idea of the viewer being able to interact with the work so it can take on different meanings. Not just the meaning the artist wants it to take.
