Audreyhacking
by Harper Reed
🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 2002
In 2002, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Audreyhacking” by Harper Reed (Net Based Art) with a Honorary Mention.
In the late 90's, at the height of the "internet appliance" craze, 3Com released a small, cute, single-unit "internet machine" which provided email, web browsing, and an address book - intended for people with little computer experience.
About Harper Reed
Harper Reed (USA) somehow around 1994 stumbled across the Internet. It could have been the mysterious dialup that led to gopher and MUDs or maybe it was the strange BBSs that kept offering Internet mail.
