# Net.art carries the structure. Surf Club appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Net.art (Style, 1990s–) and its accent from Surf Club (Style, 2006–2012). Structural cues: Link structures; Browser UI; Errors; Participation and transmission. Accent cues, used sparingly: A default blog template left alone, with posts stacking in date order and no design applied; Screenshots of web searches, targeted ads and stock gradients posted as found; Posts answering other posts, so the same image returns altered by another member; Amateur material sitting in the same column as work, with nothing marking the difference. Composition: Make navigation the composition, assuming back buttons and several windows. Type and lettering: Use default browser fonts and leave underlined links undecorated. Let one material quality come from the second style: Leave found material as found. Keep the compression artefacts, the low resolution and the stock gradients.. Mood: Rebellion, Technology, Play, Nostalgia. Color: build on #ffffff, #0000ee, #111111 with a single accent drawn from #FFFFFF, #0000EE, #CCCCCC. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Digital Art, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Net.art: Reproducing the early web look as a flat image leaves nothing that links, transmits or invites participation, and the network that was the site of the work disappears.
# - Surf Club: Cleaning up the found material and arranging it well removes the found state that the style is actually made of, leaving only collage.
