Naked Web

In the dawn of the World Wide Web — before the separation of content and style, before CSS, in the age of pure HTML — webmasters worked with only a handful of <tags> to shape their pages.

Creating layouts, visuals and functionality was a challenge, yet not impossible. With the humble < table >, the elegant < hr >, the interactive < input type=“radio” > and < input type=“checkbox” >, and of course the legendary clear.gif, every trick became an act of invention. Even border=“0” or border=“100” carried a message.

The works in this exhibition are built from these same elements — to make them shine once more, and never be forgotten.

The exhibition “Naked Web” is part of the 39th Filmwinter Stuttgart.
