bannerart.org

[The new addition to this site is courtesy bannerart.org, a site that collects work conforming to webvertising specifications in terms of file size and dimensions. Here's some info on the site, recently revamped. Brandon Barr, who runs the texturl blog (see right), is one of the creators of this site.]

The Banner Art Collective has implemented a new design created by Garrett Lynch. The new design brings a vast number of improvements to the site, which collects and distributes net.art and poetry created according to the limitations of WWW advertising.

The collection is now database driven and easily searchable. Each work is presented on a separate page, and more artist information is featured next to each work. Viewers have always been able to access cut-and-paste html tags to place works from the collection on their own webpages, but now the site also offers users a php-driven script that, when added to any html document, serves randomly changing banners from the collection.

In addition, the new design automates the submission process with an online form which artists can use to easily upload their works to the collection. There are also new frequently updated sections which contain news, links to host and sponsor sites, and links to related research and art projects.

The collection now includes works by:
