Do you think the internet has become institutionalized? What i mean is, have the transnational dot coms like amazon, e-bay, and google, as well as state and federal government and ngos defined the collective perception of what the internet is by their presence on-line? does the internet 'look' a certain way to you? Well, I ask because i've found, going through my bookmark folders, that many, many graphic and web designer's web pages are either not found or are in stasis. This is cool. Artist web pages are the ultimate ephemera, because they don't exist physically, and they are only meant to be viewed for a short time.... you can't throw a web page away, and the page can exist until the web crashes, and even then it could be stored on any device. Here is an example of what one design firm did to 'close' their page.
This is cool because the artdorks still own their space but have closed their site. They still have a web presence, only their page is a farewell to those who frequented it. But they're still on-line. It would be cool to have an online business card that was a 0-button, -navigation page that acted as your title-card or placeholder on the internet.
this could be updated so easily....
interesting design idea, a digital placeholder on the global stage
