It's Only HTML (but I Like It)
Work created in 2026/1/17
”It's Only HTML (but I Like It)” channels the rebellious spirit of the Rolling Stones' classic into web technology. Like ”it's only rock 'n roll” yet it transformed culture, the work demonstrates how ”it's only HTML”—transforming mundane form elements like text boxes and checkboxes into musical instruments controlling tonality, rhythm, and timbre. By inverting bureaucratic tools into creative expression, this piece reveals that the web's most basic, seemingly trivial technology holds revolutionary potential for democratic digital creativity and artistic rebellion.
