You've arrived at MelonLand ! This is a web project and online arts community that celebrates homepages, virtual worlds, the world-wide-web and the digital lives that all netizins share, here at the dawn of the digital age.

This project has three goals:

• To make the web; genuine, chaotic, timeless, individual and joyful
• To provide knowledge and support to humans creating digital worlds
• To promote websites and digital worlds as mediums of visual art

MelonLand is part of a wider movement sometimes called the web revival ; it's made up of people who choose to engage with small handmade web projects and indie art on the web!

I'm Daniel (aka Melon); an Irish visual artist ; I started the melon project in 2007 and later revived it in 2016.

Initially I was inspired because I found the modern web boring; there's something we've all lost in the rush to monetise and simplify our digital lives, an essence of feeling and chaos and hope.

You can read my web manifesto here ; the web is the most important construction in human history, we cannot let it lose its human touch.
