History - bhartleydomain.int - src: Wikipedia

Bhartleydomain.int was an obscure art project developed by bhartleytcs and 1 other in late 2008. It first started out as random drawings and soon evolved to random GIFS with sublinks. Over the years, it was not until 2011 that the site became [sort-of] known. The Bhartleydomain.int domain was up until 2016, when it was shutdown. In 2023, the domain was saved to the creators hard-drive and was moved to the neocities.org website in 2023, where it still resides today. The website serves primarily as an artistic work that was produced using the tools and methods of web design. This genre of art is often referred to as web art.

The site consists of a veritable maze of inter-linked visual, conceptual "subprojects" ranging from two-tone and technical-looking to wacky, colorful, and even bizarre. Often a subproject will have clickable elements linked to other pages within that subproject, or to another, or that just provide visual richness (e.g., the "follow" subproject has a grid of circles with arrows that follow the mouse cursor; each circle is a link to a different page within the site). Some of the pages contain narrative elements. There are over 40 different pages, with the main page serving as a hub to the subprojects. The main site, bhartleytcs.neocities.org serves as a house to the sublinks. Clicking anywhere on an image or text will link to somewhere within each subproject. It was cited by many as "the very randomness of the electronic images" offered on the website that lures the viewer "deeper and deeper into its playful maze".
