turns browsing inside out, always showing not the links that are on the page (directing away from it), but the ones that link towards this page. show where this page is embedded in and allows reverse browsing.




Tracing Networks Backwards is a browser game based on wikimedia. Its interface displays all wiki pages that link towards the currently open one and by that renders visible the bits an information is composed of.
Outputting the traced path into a graph shifts the attention from the clicked nodes (links) towards their edges (connections), and allows us to notice relations.
