Riot is the website in question.
Who is the artist? I say it is Napier, the creator of the site. But everyone's always got a different take on it and I'm open to other suggestions. Napier's the one with the concept, the idea-maker and organizer of what you see in front of you. The website designers and such are contributors to what he is doing, but we are all contributing too. We're just all pawns, little bits and pieces to this project, but Napier's got it figured out before we get to it, realize that we're part of it. They say that all art is thievery right? i'm not sure if i agree 100% with that, but maybe 98%? or not. again, you can change my mind. (in actuality, i'm an idealist and i want to try to make, or assemble things into a new thing at least). but yes, i do think that most things and ideas came from somewhere else but are just assembled in everyone's individual way. its just like ideas themselves. everyone's got great ideas, but the execution is what counts right? how and what you do with those ideas are the aspects that are going to make people stop and say hey, what's going on. in the case of RIOT, Napier has clearly stated this by something that's obviously a collage of things that aren't his.
The art for me is the end result here and the ideas behind it. an everchanging collage never the same. the thing that you look at that makes you wonder, okay, what is that and why is it there? but it also turns into a little game. . . what will it do next? what if i. . . what about this? the children in us want to play around, make it do different things. i still like bright and shiny things. would my nephews like it i wonder? since i do, i suppose i expect them to as well.
