Concept concept concept - Show me the IMAGES!!

My concept is a wall containing propaganda content- images that have pasted upon each other – the user is to reveal the layers – each area is independent of other areas and therefore a personalised image is created. There are a few sites that have this ‘page turn’ prompt that could be utilised in FLASH!

An amendment to this concept is too add secure passwords and each entry could add text inputted to the artwork…and allow each entry to reveal more layers.

The second idea is to create a page and then capture the page and present in onscreen, like page in a page. The idea is to separate the user from the content – filters and heighten the space between the individual and the tool. The security gained in the impersonal nature of the web and computing in general. Highlight the machine.

The third idea is to have password upon password and each level to create an artwork. The concept is to remove the user from the work, to heighten the idea of security – not securing the information but the securing of the user – i.e. the concept of restriction or containment!

The fourth idea is to have a static functional website, that the more you navigate it, the more you destroy it – it becomes chaos and triggers dysfunction. This aligns with the concept of Dadaism I have been researching.
The concept is underscored by the idea security of the computer, the Internet and how it is changing our culture – creating counter culture. I believe the iconography, as HOME for the homepage of an Internet site would be the conceptual idea of security – most information on the web is NOT secure – viruses prevail and I think exposing this concept as false and incorrect would be fun! Maybe I could rip off a secure site – government / bank / stock exchange. Internet Piracy or Terrorism!

Hmmmm… I have too many ideas and not enough mock – ups / storyboards!
