A “web poem” I created from real emails from arts organisations that rejected me without offering feedback. It’s a response to the formulaic and impersonal nature of working in this field. It’s inspired by old net.art pieces, and made in native HTML, Javascript and CSS without additional libraries. It’s an example of the kind of unique interaction you can create even with basic tools.

Try it out: unfortunately, unfortunately.
