The Web is <y>ours started as my master's graduation project and is made to live and evolve over time.

The Web is <y>ours is an interactive, narrative expansion of J.R. Carpenter’s text A Handmade Web, that invites you on a journey through webcraft.
Ultimately, The Web is <y>ours is what I call a webmaze: an intrication of hyperlinks, web pages, experiments and reflections about the web and its enchanted corners.
The Web is <y>ours’ second aim is directed towards highlighting the craft, the slowness, the in/at/tention in order to counter automation, efficiency and brainless doom-scrolling. For that, I encourage you to experience it your own way, whether it be diving into it, getting lost, leaving and coming back, or anything, really — for the Web is yours, it is mine, it is ours.
How it works: Being a metaphor for itself, the experience here aims to embrace the Web’s ground principles: (hyper)linking, branching, wandering, discovery, connection. In order to achieve that, this web-based piece borrows from practices such as "choose your own adventure" stories and games or webrings. It invites you into various rabbit holes in the land of the Web Revival
