This program creates a social profile (based on sites such as Friendster, Facebook and MySpace) for each website by going into the HTML and extracting data it deems relevant.
Each website is a "self" connected to other. It's birthdate is its date of creation. Its weight is the page size. Its photos are all of the page's images reduced (or enlarged) to a 100x100 pixel square. Its friends are the other websites it links to.
On one hand, this is a play on the way in which we all are represented somewhat differently and selectively when we enter these social network sites. We have to acknowledge that our representations, like the html of webpages, do not exist independently of a framework which designates the fields to fill in. On the other, it reveals the way html itself is selectively decoded and serves as an alternative web browser.
Yet this browser only works for a limited number of sites. Other sites infect the framework or merely register incompatible.
