Digital crustaceans: homesteading on the world wide web

In Digital Crustaceans: Homesteading on the World Wide Web, a low level biological entity -- a hermit crab -- explores the World Wide Web to find sites for occupation and modification. This project views the World Wide Web as more than an address in cyberspace for the exchange of information or promotion. It views the Web as a form of organic architecture to be worked in and on and across to explore the material base of digital technologies, a factor often overlooked amidst the transcendent claims of new technologies. This web project is a pictorial and video narrative of those explorations.
