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 2005
A single web artwork: an endless zoom that dives through one painting into the next and never lands.
Nikolaus Baumgarten started it and released it in October 2004, with fifteen illustrators each painting a section, hence the 'quilt'. It was first made in Flash and was ported to modern web standards in 2013.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Net Art: Websites that are artworks, by people who saw the browser as a canvas.
