Best Viewed Without a Browser: Aaron S. Lav believes that the best way to read HTML documents is without a browser: users should connect to the appropriate port, and then display the raw HTML at 30, 120, or 240 characters per second. At such speeds, subtle nuances of pacing can be appreciated; with traditional all-at-once rendering, such nuances are thrown away. Also, semantically different tags, such as /cite/ and /em/ are easily distinguished without an interfering browser to render them both as italic. Lav deplores the fact that few designers today care about such nuances and he therefore wants everybody to join the "Best Viewed Without a Browser" campaign today and make their voices heard!

monochrom is an art-technology-philosophy group having its seat in Vienna and Zeta Draconis. monochrom is an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, context hacking and political activism. Our mission is conducted everywhere, but first and foremost in culture-archeological digs into the seats (and pockets) of ideology and entertainment. monochrom has existed in this (and almost every other) form since 1993.
