'cybordelics' in 1997 - my first website. It was kind of curated link list of
my favorite artists pages. The selection was highly influenced by my interest
in interfaces. At that time I
noticed that people like to set up link lists. But they include links without
asking.
I
thought
that
was
a
pity.
I
really
would like to be notified when someone puts me on his list. So I asked each
artist for permission and only after an agreement with them I would create
a link to their work on 'cybordelics'. It developed to a network of over 32
artists with whom I had contact over email. So there was an active exchange
with the artists before the implementation phase of artcart.
The input of the artists was and is quite important.
