Tetris
By Andrew Nikolaenko
Author's Description:
Hi,
my name is Andrew Nikolaenko, and i live in Russia.
Here's my work that i've done in last two evenings...
It's old good Tetris. Hope you'll like it.
Total size: 5.116 bytes.
I developed this game for both Netscape (Win95/98/NT/2K/Linux)
and IE, but IE works generally smoothier.
Also, Netscape stops with JavaScript error message when loading directly from disk. This can be cured by clicking the Reload. When loading from the net, it works ok, so i dunno whether it's my or Netscape's fault.
Bye, and thanks for great idea.

my 5k entry which has got no title

Entry number: 14 Size: 4489 bytes
none
By Anna Sñderblom and Mattias Ekstrand
Author's Description:
This creation uses a java-applet which stores two of the pages of the site in two different methods. These two methods will just return a String with the boy or the girl-page. The applet resides in a .jar-file, in order to compress the pages to their fullest. Code for the applet is also submitted in a separate file, even though it should not be counted for in the contest.
Note! If the site was created without using this compression technique, the total size of the files would exceed the limit of this competition.

Lightswitches
By Patrick May
Author's Description:
This page comes from some paintings of lightswitches I had been working on. The idea of the painting was that there was so much hidden behind the walls of the lightswitch.
So I made a lightswitch which, unlike the paintings, actually has something behind it. And as a plus, it documents itself when you turn it on.

War

This application serves both as a frightening reminder of the resources wasted on war during our childhood, and a warning to future generations of war's ultimate futility. It also strictly adheres to Hoyle's rules of play and beats searching for extraterrestrial life.

The 9-pixel Typeface
By Joakim Gleisner
Author's Description:
The title of my 5k site is 'The 9-pixel Typeface'. I wanted to create something that resembled your award in spirit, and it is my hope that I in some way succeeded. Trying to make a site using only 5k is similar to trying to make the perfect ampersand using only two colours and a very limited amount of pixels. Both tasks require a lot of attention to detail, and that is, after all, what design is all about.

random rothko
By Heather Champ
Author's Description:
I've long admired the work of Abstract Expressionist painter Mark Rothko.
"In 1964, eight years after Mark Rothko painted the Sheldon Gallery's YellowBand, the artist shrouded his studio skylight with a parachute, creating adimly lit gloom he found ideal for his work. Increasingly, if notsystematically, his work darkened. His last paintings and large works onpaper are his simplest; divided approximately in half, the works areexecuted in black over blackened brown or gray.
"Given the widely published perception of Abstract Expressionist works asrecording the artist's creative struggle, in which the process of creatinginvolves an acutely felt, private existential drama, the somber course ofRothko's art seems a metaphor for the artist's approaching decision to endhis own life. Perhaps it is. But Rothko's work involves much larger and moregeneral intentions. . . . Rothko looked inward to find his own art; hissearch was not for simply a means of self-expression but for a timeless andspiritual image that captured the mythic power of primitive art.
"At first, his floating blocks of color were arranged in a soft-edgedgeometric arrangement, but later these were swiftly aligned in parallelbands of color, no longer in any way emblematic of totemic or pictographicimagery. They were wholly abstract, resonant forms with 'the impact of theunequivocal."
Diane Waldman, Mark Rothko 1903-1970: A Retrospective (New York: Harry N.Abrams, with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, 1978) p. 39.
The visitor to "random rothko" can "paint" a near infinite number ofcanvases from an array of twenty-five colours and a pseudo-random numbergenerator, by selecting the "+" or reloading/refreshing.

This is the very first issue of _UNDERSCORE, a new magazine about web design made by Italian webdesigners.
This 5K cover of the site is made for the 5K contest and it will remain as an important section of the site when it will grow up...
A note about the design: we used a new standard font in titles, Trebuchet MS (installed by MS Internet Explorer both on PC and MAC), so anyone might be able to view it...
If you don't see it don't worry: there are also Verdana, Arial, Helvetica and sans-serif (as usual)!!!

Confess-O-Matic
By Jesse Willmon
Author's Description:
Day to day life is tedious. There are many things we do that absorb far too much of our time. Each day we teach technology to work faster and harder, yet the results rarely translate into easier living.
Simply put, technology should give us MORE free time, not less. Confess-O-Matic does precisely that. You never have to worry about your sins again. Simply use Confess-O-Matic and your sins are erased electronically. No prying priest, no smelly confession booth, no outdated religious dogma and definitely no wasted time. Finally, technology that truly saves us time.

Space Invaders - Atari 2600
By Chris Nott
Author's Description:
This one's titled 'Space Invaders - Atari 2600'. It's as close to the Atari 2600 version of Space Invaders as I could get with <5k. I had to leave out
the shields, multiple lives, explosions, sounds and the ufo but everything else is in there. A - left, D - right, space - fire. Anyone over 25 will know what to do. It gets tricky by the 4th screen. Works in 4+ browsers except IE4.x on the Mac (IE5 works, though).

fun with fibonacci
By Kelly Creighton
Author's Description:
My brief description comes from encarta: Fibonacci Series
Fibonacci Series, in mathematics, series of numbers in which each member is the sum of the two preceding numbers. For example, a series beginning 0, 1 ... continues as 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and so forth. The series was discovered by the Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci (circa 1170-c.1240), also called Leonardo of Pisa.
Fibonacci numbers have many interesting properties and are widely used in mathematics. Natural patterns, such as the spiral growth of leaves on some trees, often exhibit the Fibonacci series.

3 dots
By Jaclyn Seng Yin Kuan
Author's Description:
On the first page (ellipsis), you will see the 3 dots in a quotation. It visualizes a spoken sentence with no words inside. The purpose is to show that, there are more to speaking in words than we know. In pure silence, which we presence it with ellipsis in text form, it connects us to a greater level of understanding. It depends entirely on how you wish to perceive it. Everything depending on the person looking at the context; a feeling that revolve from the 3 dots itself. The empty last page (silence) emphasized my last two words
in the pervious page (simplicity); . . . without words.

As a whole, the site is a mere pleasure of idiocrasy. For some people who has nothing to do and have time to spare.

A Pause / A Nap
By Wong Siew Mei
Author's Description:
This website is a reminder for people especially those who live in city area - a hectic city. The pressure in daily life cause insomnia, mentally
derangement / feeble-mindedness, heart-attack and etc.
The word 'nap' is not just to sleep, but a rest of your entire day. The main page showing there is a big gap between the second line to the third line is the pause of the hectic life. Moving to the next page, hopefully you will get influenced and attentive to my design. The final page is totally blank, for you to enjoy after a stressful life.
There are uniqueness in my design which does not have link to the previous pages, if do, you will probably unrest. So, take a pause.

Crossing the Line
By Chris McDougall
Author's Description:
Never underestimate the power of words. Although someone once said that a picture is worth a thousand words, when used right no picture in the world can describe the right set of words. If you want to be heard you use words.
I see a lot of pages that tend to focus on "cool pictures" without realizing that text can be powerful also. And with good design it can only make a message that much stronger.
My piece is called "Crossing the Line." It is a very simple biography, with the very simple point that everyone tries to find themself in a world where the individual does not exist. The piece displays simple excerpts of significant things in my life that happened to me that most people can probably relate to, all with the common theme of searching for yourself. No images, no flash, just a single html file clocking at under 4k with text and a little bit of CSS loving. Words are powerful. Words convey thoughts. Never underestimate the power of words.

iris.
By Josh Santangelo
Author's Description:
The piece opens with a circle irising in and out, revealing a portion of a poem by D. H. Lawrence [ http://www.bartleby.com/128/4.html ]. It's a weird
way to read something, because it forces your pace (which may be faster or slower than your normal reading speed), and makes you (me, anyway) tend to read from the middle of the line, instead of from the left. It probably just serves to ruin the poem.
Then the circle gets bored with all this art crap, and the user gains control. By moving the mouse, you can control the speed of rotation, direction of rotation, and the radius of the circle. Clicking changes its center. The speed is regulated by the cursor's distance from the x-axis of the circle, the direction is decided by what side of the x-axis you're on, and the radius is determined by the cursor's distance from the circle's center.
Requirements:
A DHTML browser - IE4/IE5/NN4 for Mac/Win were the only browsers tested.
Anything else is unknown.
A pretty fast computer - It looks like crap on a P200, but looks sweet on a PII or a G3. It runs faster in NN than it does in IE, and that difference is even greater on the Mac. Dunno why.
Notes:
The points on the circle come up as question marks on a Mac, and as a neat symbol on Windows. I was going to throw in some detection to handle that, but thought maybe the question marks would add some kind of mystery to it.
Hah.

By JJ Solari
Author's Description:
This single page serves as a launcher to perform internet queries with the help of five popular sites - (altavista, google, yahoo, hotbot and dejanews).
Features:
Dual query mode:
- AUTO mode, on by default, which allows query with boolean operators OR (main field), AND (and field) and NOT (not field).
Enter strings or quoted expressions (separated with space if several) in respective fields, no operators are needed.
Clicking on brand of choice in top menu bar automatically performs
necessary syntax corrections to match http as well as searchengine
specific requirements.
- MANUAL mode is switched on as soon as one operator is detected in the query, in any field. All operators of the five brands are supported.
This operating mode supposes that the user is experienced with the specific syntax of the searchengine he(she) intends to use.
Query must be complete for the result to be coherent as all three fields behave in a 'standard' way.
Still, the final query is corrected to conform to http specifications.
Compatibility:
The page relies on JavaScript, CSS and CSS-P, so it would function properly on MSIE or NS browsers version 4.x with these options activated.
Bug (sort of):
Google doesn't perform OR queries (main field) like competitors, but instead AND queries.
Conformance:
This page validates through W3C's HTML401.loose specifications.
Legals:
No copyright. Just hope that all five don't mind my borrowing their tools ;-)

Steev's Recreational Maths Page
By Stephen Goodwin
Author's Description:
Based on the ideas and works of Martin Gardener, this page (consisting of several frames) is best viewed at 1024x768 to see all the features, *and* the surrounding 'golden rectangle' frames, without scroll bars.
The frame ratios are approximate in some cases, to get all the data on, but no-one will notice! Basically, JavaScript is used to build larger pages on
the fly, whilst single letter function names, file names and variables keep the size down internal.

space invaders
By Douglas Bagnall
Author's Description:
Sorry if your browser has a number less than 4.
if pressing space causes your screen to scroll down, try using ` instead. That is the ` in the top left below the ~.
If you lose the key function (Netscape 4.x is especially bad), try clicking on the screen in a blank region. If the keys start working again _don't_ use the mouse controls or the keys will stop again.
Mozilla and IE5 work ok with a mix of keys and mouse.
Special thanks are due to Miles Thompson who helped with the keyboard thing.

index51
By Arne Koesel & Tilo Hartmann (Kono)
Author's Description:
Dear folks,
we really had a lot of fun to produce a webpage that - at least in our view - fully meets the demands of your web contest. The idea to produce an appealing and functional 5KB (or less) webpage was pretty challenging and didn't let us sleep for a couple of days :)
So - please find attached what we worked out during these nights... a real space-action-game, designed in retro style and called "index51". Your task is to move your index51-ship succesfully through the space-maze and to collect 300 points to free the 5K-universe. But watch out for the mean
Megabyte-Monsters! Use the reloading sources to gain more energy to protect your ship.
The game uses JavaScript and layer-technology and therefore runs on browser versions 4.x and higher. We recommend the resolution 800 x 600 but it runs with higher resolutions as well. Therewithal it runs on all common platforms.
We think the game is really funny and we even are a little proud that it's less than 5K (in fact we reached 5085 bytes - so it's still lower than 5120
bytes). But you better convince yourselves that every single byte is worth it :)

prolog.html
By Jan Grant
Author's Description:
The interpreter is a TinyProlog written in JavaScript. It's brutal enough that it breaks a lot of (even recent) JS implementations; I've tried it on NN4.7 and that seems to work; similarly on mozilla. I've no idea if it'll run under any of the IE beasts, but it probably ought to.
How it works: you can view the original source at
However, this is more than two times too large for the competition. I had a play and discovered that javascript's eval() lets you define functions () and so compressed the code a bit. I stored the whole interpreter definition into a single (compressed) string and expanded it before eval()ing the result.
Yep, it's hideous. But: it's not obfuscated; it's just compact.
You need to be a serious geek to appreciate this, I suppose, but I thought it was worth an entry. Probably won't win any awards for asthetic appeal though :-(
As a side note, the original interpreter has been used in a number of demos and tutorials (primarily geared at members of the library community) along the lines of "look how easy it is to inference over metadata".

Passing
By Jonathan Phillips
Author's Description:
"Passing" is a webpage that revolves around the
manifested and the hidden and how that relates to the topics of passing away. All the texts are from personal journals of mine since I was a child and detail some choice phrases like "death is simple." By having only certain pieces of text viewable at any one time, a new narrative develops from simple left to right reading of text across the screen. After viewing this piece, multiple viewpoints are shown and developed between the individual user and the artist (me).

"TV simul" is a simple site under "5K" simulation of my beliefs on the simplistic nature of television messages and pulsating radiation that emulates from the screen. This is a fun experiment on
old deprecated HTML which uses the <blink> tag. Strangely enough, the blink tag was created to grab internet user's attention much like television does through special effects. Luckily, the blink tag is deprecated because it is seemingly annoying like television and television commercials.

Author's Description:
Attached is the smallest HTML entry you will get. While it weighs only a paltry three bytes, it is both commanding and informative. It is compliant
with every browser since Mosiac, looks identical on each, and works on all platforms seamlessly.
To save you the trouble, I will judge it for you:
1. Size: 3 bytes. If someone else can give you a smaller file size, chances are it's just gibberish. This is an actual, punctually correct sentence (in
English, though it can be easily translated with AltaVista's Babelfish).
2. Aesthetic Appeal: It's bloody gorgeous. Simple, elegant, and to the point. No extraneous navigation, banners, graphics, style sheets, scripts, or even markup to get in the way of pure, solid content.
3. Function: It serves it's purpose beautifully. It gets the message across with minimum hassle, providing a clear, genuine experience for the viewer.
4. Overall Concept & Originality: If someone else does this, chances are they stole it from me. Concept? Bloody perfect.

Universal Decision Maker
By Sam Foster
Author's Description:
hi there, attached is a zip containing all files required for the "universal decision maker", a vastly trimmed and greatly prettified adaption of a bug race page I put up a couple of years ago.
(http://www.sam-i-am.com/playpen/bug_options.htm)
This one is down to a total of 4084 bytes for all html and images. It is compatible back to nn3, ie4. as far as the functionality is concerned; text styling uses css. At great cost in bytes i put in document.images checks and noscript messges
so as not to confound users of un-supported browsers. I know you will appreciate this :)
The source code is trimmed back to a bare minimum of formatting.. I just can't bring myself to remove those last newlines, and render the code
basically unreadable. Call this vanity or generous-heartedness, I lose (gain) some bytes there too.
yes, I know bugs don't really walk like that. If there's ever a version 1.1 I'll animate the correct gait. As it is, I'm told it's kind of sweet :)

Author's Description:
attached is a zip file of all files that make up "an alphabet of activities" a mini-site of 26 pages - a page for each letter. It all lives in the same directory. index.html is the start page (frameset).
I've been holding off on delivery of this entry, gathering content, testing and trying to squeeze a few more bytes out. This one ended up as 4304 bytes. There are no images, one css file, one frameset, one nav, and 26 "pages". It uses no javascript, is functional back to NN2, but obviously looks best in a 4+ browser. Fonts / layout are fairly fluid, though I did have to pin down the navigation to fixed text size.
Content is my own.

EINSTEIN LIVES!!!
By Paul Pascual

Hi, this is my entry for the 5k contest.
Remember in the 1980's there were two electronic games called "Simon" and "Einstein"? They were these memory games with four colored buttons with lights. The computer would light up a sequence of colors, and afterwards you
would have to repeat the sequence by pressing the buttons. If you got it right, the computer would add another button to the sequence for you to
repeat. This would go on until you got the sequence wrong, and then the
game was over. The site I created is called "i-nstein, Y2K" and is an internet version of these games.

IDEO Web Color Visualizer
By Mark Chance, Leo Kopelow, Danny Stillion
Author's Description:
Basically the idea came to me while driving home from work. "What about creating a web page that has web safe colors that allows you to see how the
colors interact on a real live web page rather than trying to fake it in photoshop or squinting at Fireworks swatches." I got the basic functionality
done in a couple of hours and then did a preliminary layout. We then refined the layout design, I implemented it, then spent several more hours dealing with cross-browser/cross-platform inconsistencies and compressing and refining the code to keep the size down. All in all, I think it too us about 8 hours total to do produce this from initial design concept to final product.

Nonsequitur Loquacity
By Jeff Howard
Author's Description:
1 HTML file
13 GIFs
(i) size
My entry is pretty big--as 5k sites go. A good chunk of the page is Javascript overhead. I saved space by using document.writes of repetitive tags where I could. Even so, there wasn't much room for textual content after the layout was created, so I took a cue from Dr. Seuss by stringing together random Web content into repetitive phrases. Overall, I stripped the code to the minimum required to execute my original design, then added browser bug fixes in the remaining bytes of space.
(ii) aesthetic appeal
Color is the driving force behind my design. I capitalized on the power of warm and vibrant hues by placing them on a black background. The color palette was derived from Cezzanne who suggested "Je vais au dÈveloppement logique de ce que je vois dans la nature." I made the randomizing script double function by applying it to the color block header, giving the page a different look each time it's loaded.
(iii) function
The functionality comes from giving the user a bit of control over the site content. My contest entry is built to function as a linear website. As the user navigates through the site, they remix the color blocks and phrases each time they click a link. They can also customize the random phrases by entering their own thoughts into the array.
(iv) overall concept & originality
The design of this site is my own. However, I didn't invent any of the scripting concepts that I used in making it work. My goal was to find innovative ways to combine these techniques. Hopefully, I've succeeded. I'd welcome any feedback or questions you have. You can view an expanded version of this entry, with commented and structured code, as well as some expanded compatibility and aesthetic tweaks at http://www.kc.net/~jeffh/15k/

Wordplay
By Makiko Itoh
Author's Description:
Background:
The kind of pictures-with-words that designers have done in print for years...though I don't see too much of it online. It's kind of inspired
by Guillame Apollonaire, a French poet who wrote poems that were also
pictures, and by Lewis Carroll who did the same in the Alice books.
The poem:
This is a poem by a 16th century French poet called Clément
Marot. I discovered it in a book by Douglas Hofstadter called "Le Ton
Beau de Marot". Briefly the book is about the ways in which words can be
translated. (He has many different translations of the poem in the
book..some are hilarious.) Although I did study French eons ago, it's a
bit rusty, but to me the poem just has a wonderful rhythmical feel to it
even if not all the words are understood. And in any case anything in
French looks nice even if it's a grocery list.
This is a love poem. So I arranged the poem around the title, in a heart
shape...the heart also symbolicallly surrounds "ma mignonne" - my
sweetheart or my darling.I also wanted to add some life and control the
speed of viewer's reading of the lines (the speed is set to be a reading
speed) so I used some CSS and Javascript "animation" tricks. I think if
I had had a few more bytes to spare, I would have made the speed of the
"animation" user-definable. If I had even more bytes to spare I'd put in
some of the translations from the Hofstadter book. But there it is.
Practicality:
If you had a poetry site or something... though the same kind of
technique could be used to control where/how your viewer's eye was lead.
Creation stuff used:
Mac,BBEdit, PANTONE Colorweb swatch book, graph paper, pencil.
Tested to run on NN 4+ and IE 4+ Win/Mac. Needs a Javascript and CSS-1
capable browser. No plugins required. It almost validates to HTML4.0. (3
errors).

Joseph Albers - INTERACTION WITH web-safe COLORS
By Paul Kraus and Chip Aubry
Author's Description:
As a tribute to Joseph Albers and what he did for color in design, we
applied his studies to the web-safe palette. Although this is not the
complete work of Albers, they are four representative pieces which reflect
the limitations of the web-safe spectrum. The unique restrictions of the 5k
made this a natural subject to explore.

HTML -> HoTMaiL
By Jesse Knight
Author's Description:
When I heard about your contest, I started working on a page,
but was at a loss for content. As luck would have it, I mentioned HTML in
conversation with a client, and he stopped and asked when we had started
talking about Hotmail. It had never occurred to me - or anyone else I asked
- that to non-techies, HTML would make a pretty understandable abbreviation
for Hotmail. Anyway, the story on the enclosed page lends a bit of
legitimacy to the claim.

Here is a design I have completed for your contest. It is about 3.5k or 3727
bytes in size and complies with the rest of your rules. Hope it can score
pretty well, and I hope you will post the scores of all the pages in your
contest. Anyways, thanks for letting an 18 year old designer participate in
a great contest that will hopefully get all designers thinking. I love the
idea. Below is a short explanation of the design.
I created this design with your rules in mind, but to give myself more
competition I also added a few rules. I added rules like - only use three
colors, give the design some type of emotion and give the design some type
of message. Then I decided to use the colors orange and black. Kind of a
spin-off of the traditional colors of red, black and white. However I chose
orange because of the physical and psychological effects it has when viewed
by a human observer. Then I created a title that I thought fit and tried to
give the whole piece an overall emotion.
This whole project took about 2 hours (including typing the e-mail), and
even though I didn't spend enormously long amounts of time on it, I would
very greatly appreciate it if I could find out my place in this competition.

By Ms. Jiyun Park and Mr.Seung Chan Lim
Author's Description:
This web page's main concept stems from the fundamentals of communication. What one of the things that the internet has provided us with is an
easier/faster way of communicating with each other. In order to help people understand how such communication actually works, we have come up with a webpage that emulates the lower layer of computer to computer communication.
The underlying motivation for this page is the result of the recent
research, that with the growth of the
internet people are communicating with each other less and less in person.
The way we look at this is that when a user at one end sends an e-mail or
creates a webpage of
oneself, what he/she has essentially done is left one's self in the hands of
the computer that is used to view
the webpage/read the e-mail to create a virtual identity for him/herself.
Then what the user on the other
end sees/reads is content that has gone through the computer's
interpretation of the binary code that has
arrived through the internet. This, compared to the daily interaction
between people, has an added layer
of interpretation that is done by the computer. This added layer of
interpretation creates a
virtual space in which the two people communicate. The user at one end
creating the e-mail is allowing
the computer to interpret the binary code generated by the keyboard
interrupt into characters rendered
on-screen, and the user at the other end reading the e-mail is allowing the
computer to interpret
the binary code that has been transmitted through the internet as packets.
So in essence, the
communication is really done in a virtual space where two computers are
communicating with each other.
However, if we were to elliminate the interpretation taking place on both
sides, then the only thing the
computer is doing is merely facilitating the transmission of the binary
code, and the interpretation of
them is carried out by the actual people on each side. Just like how real
person-to-person
communication works in a narrow sense. One person speaks, the words are
transmitted through the air medium as sound
waves, and the interpretation of the words are done by others who are
actually engaged in the
conversation.
What we have done to emulate this is, we have let the person on one end to
write about oneself and made a button on the page for submission of what one
has written.
However, in doing so, the person at the end writting about onself will be
able to see the actual binary representation of what one is typing. Although
these are not the true
virtual keycodes that are generated by the keyboard, but they are binary
representations of what the
keycodes represent in the Operating System level (i.e. binary representation
of the ASCII code). When
the user clicks on the "send" button, what we receive is that same binary
representation of the key
strokes that that the user has made. Therefore, when we receive the binary
code we then interpret the binary code
ourselves. As a result, we have been able to elliminate the layer of
interpretation normally carried out by
the computer, and carried them out ourselves. This way the communication is
not carried out within a
virtual space, but rather at a more physical level. The fact that every
keystroke is logged in its raw form
contributes to making the communication more personal. (i.e. when a user
types a line and decides to erase that
line, the act of deleting is also logged to emulate behaviors like saying
one thing and then saying 'never mind'). Also, when
the webpage loads, we have tried to foreshadow the user of our intentions by
rendering a binary representation
of the task that we are asking the user to carry out as if they are binary
codes sent over the internet to
them. Then we have emmulated the computer interpretting the binary code into
characters, spelling out 'Tell me about
yourself'.
The reason why we asked them to "tell [us] about [themselves]" is to further
emphasize that we're seeking to recover the identity of individuals lost in
the virtual space. Since when
one is asked to talk about oneself one would be more likely to reveal the
identity of
onself.
Also, the binary representation of what the user is typing will fade away
with time to reveal what the computer's interpretation of the user input is.
From the visual design perspective we have tried to emmulate the look of a
primitive terminal that were around in earlier stages of the computer era,
when there were fixed width
characters on green monochrome monitors. The limitation of 5120bytes have
made us think of ways to create a
distinctive look without the use of any images. The binary codes overlapping
the computer's interpretation of user's
keystroke, and the way it becomes cracked by the faded out binary codes have
added to the overall
visual design in a very effective way.
By creating this web page, we'd like to educate the everyday people about
such interpretaion of the internet communication medium, and create an
awareness to the ever-growing internet
ventures to think of creative ways to take the human-level communication in
to consideration.

Life @ infinity
By Ms. Geeta Sarcar
Author's Description:
The page is a conceptual representation of life at
infinity..similar to the mathematical representations of
sin, cos, or tan theta at different values.
It is an attempt to depict life through the highs and lows of
the flow of the curve...the high signifying the
positive aspects of life and world in general; and the lows
depicting the darker shades of life.
The ideal is the balanced mid way...of equilibrium.
The mathematical operators are depicted through the signs and
their personality through the color assigned
to it. The symbol of addition is repesented by green and denoted
through the various implications that follow.
The symbol of subtraction is represented by black and depicts
the negativity of the character.
Blue being a cold color, depicts maturity, stability and hence
is chosen for the equal-to symbol.
As the curve lowers down, division is represented by red, a
color that is hot, stands for blood, strife and
represents the inherent strife that a division causes in life.
Finally, as we move ahead, a more enlightened
soul, one could depict the essence of multiplication, the
inherent joy that characterises the symbol through
yellow; for the brightness and radiance that is meant to be
conveyed.
The <alt> tags convey the flow through the highs and lows of the
implied curve depicted through the various
shades of the symbols themselves.
