Abstract

BWAIN is a creative web browser which uniquely combines graphics and sound using the HTML structure of any selected web page. The structure behind the web page which normally remains unseen, is revealed in a process of visualization. The HTML Code acts as a genome for building an image which looks and sounds quite distinct. Several web pages may be linked with each other and thus reflects the character of the web. The user may achieve a wide range of styles in the visualization and actively navigate through the scene by scaling and translating the image. The opportunity to scale and transform the image becomes a creative process resulting in varied compositions.
