The Shredder

Websites rely on visual design cues to create a sense of legitimacy. Brands, governments, and media companies use layout, color and typography to engineer consumer trust: "We're real. We're good. Believe us."

"The Shredder" is a web browser that ignores all intended design instructions. Seeing coherence as complicity, it injects entropy into these carefully-constructed systems to "break the spell".

With page structure left up to chance, content is left raw and exposed, unvarnished and unsupported by user experience strategies.

What meanings, intended or not, come across then?

"The destruction of the world of appearances was the only means of penetrating to the essential reality behind things."

— Hugo Ball
