This work is typical of much digital art because it is an artwork that places importance on formal instructions
There is a short instruction how to use Shredder on the welcome page. Furthermore, you find information about the aim of Shredder and technical details how Shredder generates its pictures and how the input website will be decoded.
This work is typical of much digital art because it is an artwork that places importance on the concept rather than the art object
The concept of Shredder is revealed on the welcome page. The aesthetical aspects of the generated picture from the input website are secondary. In the foreground is the treatment of a website like a paper that gets through a shredder and the thereby becoming transformation of a well structured website into disorganised chaos, a so-called “parallel web”. “Content become abstraction. Text becomes graphics. Information becomes art” (Mark Napier, About Shredder).
This work is typical of much digital art because it is an artwork that places importance on the event and audience participation
The generation of the "parallel web" only happens with the participation from the audience. The audience have to give in an URL an press the generation-button. Without this event there is no artwork.
This work is typical of much digital art because it is an artwork that places importance on interest in random events and/or chance
It looks like that the input website will be coincidently decoded. Although there is a standard procedure behind the generation of the artwork, the output picture looks different every time, even if you try it several times with the same input website.
This work is typical of much digital art because it is an artwork that places importance on borrowing or appropriation
The artwork borrows third-party websites, which are part of the whole art orchestration. It even seems that the used websites are appropriated from the artwork, because they are getting destroyed through shredder-mechanism and the website owner are helpless to react.
