May 1st Reboot is a worldwide, international, cross-disciplinary event. It is unique and of growing significance to anyone interested in the community of Web Design and the creative industry of those authors who take part. Wholly independent, and not-for-profit, May 1st Reboot is a call-to-arms without an impinging manifesto; an instance of collectivity across global parameters through the digital arena; a celebration of the richness of this community, of its creativity and diversity. May 1st Reboot offers a chance for convergence within an increasingly fragmented and, of late, segregated medium. It is a public showcase of collectivity and individuality, of cohesion without uniformity, part of an increasingly pressing drive to demonstrate the significance and potential of digital authorship in a medium becoming more and more saturated by bland conformist methodologies and commercialised aesthetics. |
And yet May 1st Reboot is not prescriptive in any aesthetic or political sense, it is merely the culmination of creative endeavour undertaken by a number of artistic voices who publish independent of any conventional obligations. It formulates a scope or focus, through which those unfamiliar with the online design circles can come to appreciate the intriguing and bizarre contradictions and collisions of design for the Web or more specifically, design on the Web that circulates within this community. |
