“def shuffle (array, random)” is an HTML page travelling through an online database. This database is primarily structured around a randomized novel called “The Fellowship of the Thing” [1]. Written in individual HTML pages, the novel is alternated and overlaid with sounds, images, videos and other HTML pages. The HTML page visits the traces of its own coming into being as an algorithm, while attempting to organize a new structure out of the loose pieces it has in reach. “def shuffle (array, random)” is part of a series of online works hosted on Εcksenis.net. This growing database hosts works that are entwined with each other by sometimes making use and overlaying fragments of each other’s databases.

ARTISTS
Anne De Boer (NL)
Anne de Boer is a London based artist, working under conditions framed by digital and online media. Elements that seem central to de Boer’s practice are being presented to algorithms, shuffle functions, randomizers or other coded structures. By submitting its own material to these decisive factors, the work gets continuously rearranged according to these ever changing algorithmic paths. His work has been presented at The Wrong – The New Digital Art Biennale, FILE 2015 in São Paulo, Lynch Bytes online Platform and the Jupiter Woods in London.
