The image
"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
in works like www.-reverse.-flash-.-.back
<http://www.-reverse.-flash-.-.back/>-; and in one of my
favourites the now offline www.nowar.nogame.org
<http://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.' "
