'Conceptual Sites' are a set of conceptual art pieces hosted on websites.
1) 'Record a Moment'
Inspired by Christopher Cook's 'A Book of Instants', in which he wrote down random moments in history in the format of 'Month Date, Year, Time'.
I sought to transfer this to the internet, and display the moments in the order that they were recorded, resulting in the existence of moments that are sometimes in the future for a person viewing, or, more often, moments that have already past.
It has been described as '[feeling] like a mix between a global roll call and a comment on our lived experience of time'.
2) 'The Drifella Catalogue'
This site was made in response to questions I had been asking regarding the idea of 'is metadata enough?'. Could we re-build the 'traitmaxxed' image in our mind without the help of the actual visual itself. And what does it mean to include metadata for images outside of 'rarity', which is it's most common use case in NFTs. The result is this site, which shows only the trait names of the layers that make up each Drifella 2 NFT.
3) 'Sentiment Checker (BTC Edition)'
A site that, every 5 seconds, checks if the price of Bitcoin has gone up or down. If it has gone up, it will say 'We are so back!', adding an exclamation mark for every time in a row it is up, and increasingly turning the background to a brighter and brighter green. The opposite happens if the price goes down, resulting in text saying 'It's so over.', and an increasing amount of full stops filling the slowly reddening background.
