Hi, I've just spent a short while performing maintenance of my "net-art" piece "The CSSNAKETRIX" from 2008. It uses HTML and CSS to generate layered/repetitious visual-poetry-like displays of text/characters.
One of my concerns about this piece was the potential strain on the server as the entire thing was running server-side with the PHP scripts generating (at times) 750kb of HTML. To lessen my concern I've now implemented the HTML generation code in Javascript - which means Javascript is now a requirement to view the piece. A typical CSSNAKETRIX page served is now around 5kb. The HTML generation code is now implemented in Javascript on *YOUR* computer. It's not exactly user friendly, but if you explore it enough you'll find you can generate 2000x4000 pixel images, as well as add your own creations to the 'gallery'. http://jwm-art.net/cssnaketrix/ Regards, James -- http://jwm-art.net/ image/audio/text/code/ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
