“Rather than portraying a decentred, fragmented, disembodied self, personal homepages are actually attempts at identity integration by demonstrating to others what is important to the individual”
Vincent Miller, Understanding Digital Culture, 2011
From an electro-tropical basecamp, the trawler collects and filters vast tracts of data into some semblance of self. Inhabiting the gaps between original thought and plagiarism, where someone else said something that loosely approximated what he was already thinking the trawler is the latest outcome of a time when quotation provides the dominant creative outlet.
