"jimpunk, is a talented and elegant artist who capitalises on the
Rococo potentialities of HTML, _javascript_ and Flash
to create
sites of infinite variability, detail and unending
surprise. 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
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.' "
