Ed Stastny—“SITO,” HyGrid, and Infinite Grid
Ed Stastny’s “SITO,” originally called OTIS, was one of the pioneering collaborative art sites on the Web. Several “synergy” events promoted the intention: “ ‘SITO,’ at its most basic interpretation and intention, is a place for image-makers and image-lovers to ex- change ideas, collaborate, and, in a loose sense of the word, meet.” Another project, HyGrid, provided a spatial hyperdimensional system into which Web visitors could contribute images. The grid was constantly evolving and allowed experimental navigation, such as “tri- linear gridding,” “wormholes,” and “weirdlinks.” Infinite Grid allowed additions forever.
