The Internet has a lot in common with a public restroom: There's a lot of what is essentially writing on the walls, and a whole lot of shit. Some restrooms are a whole lot cleaner than others. Some sites are cleaner than others. In some cities you have to pay to use a public restroom. Most of us have to pay for our Internet access. The Internet reflects the culture which created it. Aesthetically the Internet is no more pleasing than a trip through urban America. Technoligical advancements create frustration in our fast paced lives, as there is a never ending need for faster downloads. 
The Internet is nothing shy of a visual disaster. Most public restrooms are more visually intriguing than the bulk of what is on the Internet today. The availability of computer software has made everyone an artist, or has it? The old rule of "form follows function" has been thrown out the window. The hot new HTML trick has overshadowed the informative nature of what used to be refered to as the "Information Superhighway." This site is an experiment. Like much of what is on the Internet, there is no real purpose. The images on this site are part of a book which may or may not be done in the summer of 2001. This is phase one of jaredsouney.com.
