I was looking into some more artist who use the internet as a medium. Heath Bunting plays with internet structure, his wesite (listed below) contains a page called _readme.html this consists of an extract from the magazine “Wired” about the artist himself.
The purpose of the piece is to challenge the notions that as a suser of the web we are constantly faced with pages with the odd link here or there linking to certain important keywords, this does the reverse. It hyperlinks everything that seems not to be important, these links for example might be on the text “does” this then links to www.does.com.

After reading many chapters from “Internet Art - The online clash of culture and commerce” by Julian Stallabrass i found many examples, but these cease to exist online anymore.
Some named artists that i was able to research from this included the following:
- Heath Bunting
- Alexei Shulgin
- Maciej Wisniewski
- Ola Pehrson
- and more
