Deja Vu Web: The Browser Emulator simply recreates the experience of web surfing as it began. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was ascii encoded, typically displayed in monochrome courier on a black screen. In 1992 the time of the "Web" began. "Deja Vu Web" is a scientifically nostalgic look at the browsers of the early 1990ies and how they changed over time. Long time web users will get a kick out of revisiting the old web, complete with line-mode browser, NCSA mosaic, and the original Netscape Navigator.
Idea and implementation by Swedish designer Pär Lannerö. Link

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.
