Mark Tribe: Revelation 1.0

 

Online Art Project
Commissioned by Amnesty International
2002

 

Revelation 1.0 is a net art project that treats the Amnesty International web site as a found object. It uses custom software to create a parallel version of the Amnesty site. Stripped of text and graphics, the Amnesty site is reduced to geometrical compositions of color fields and photographic images.

Revelation 1.0 is the first iteration of the Revelation project. The second iteration, Revelation 2.0, applies a similar logic to the Amnesty International web site.

Note: Amnesty International recently changed the way their web site is coded. As a result, Revelation 1.0 no longer functions as intended. Revelation 2.0 still works.

Here is an example of Revelation 1.0 in action:
