His works have been perfectly described by Tricia Fragnito as 'a web version of a roller coaster ride: scary and fun and at the end you want to go again.' " "In true networked style, jimpunk often works collaboratively across geographical space, and produces sites which exploit the unique experience of net browsing. He embraces the pixel and what some would call "bad web design" using web safe colour, pop up and flashing graphics in works like www.-reverse.-flash-.-.back-; and in one of my favourites the now offline www.nowar.nogame.org . Although his breed of network art may have had an early Jodi-esque influence, we can see from the intimate and poetic musing of 1n-0ut [meditation], it has grown up to be distinctively 'jimpunk.'
