- What: The banality of the web can often be a mirror to other practices we may find banal in the real world. Like, running. Who actually runs for the sake of running? I mean, I realize it's exercise but running is a sport which should have a goal other than to run. The collection contains all manner of things which I find banal, and so I put a twist to running. If it has no goal, then why not move in place? Like a threadmill. The example of running is quite specific, but bear with me. There is a already a real version of running without a goal; but how about in the virtual? In MMORPGs you always run with a goal; in fact, you never walk. If you run without a purpose in a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game you're bound to get killed by all manner of nasty creatures and pitfalls. And so- the meaning of purpose interchange with each other; the virtual MMORPG could be seen as meaningless, but at least the activity of running has a purpose.
