What it does
Each round end: If this is your only card here, +1 Power to this card.
Each round end fires as every round finishes.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 1995
An online art space, named after Ada Lovelace and curated by Benjamin Weil, that invited artists to make new work for the web.
Its first official project went up in May 1995, and artists such as Jenny Holzer, Julia Scher and Lawrence Weiner made work for it. Its funding was cut in 1998, and AOL gave its archive to the Walker Art Center that November.
In 1995: Active informally from February; its first official project went up in May.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Net Art: Websites that are artworks, by people who saw the browser as a canvas.
