Bipolar was a navigation essay, using downloaded code, and abusing of the concepts of Open Source and collaboration. The name Bipolar is related to the site structure, built in positive and negative poles, based on the digital language of ones and zeroes. He also referred to the analogy of the digital as an extension of the mind. The question of whether the network would ever become a collective nervous system was a constant in the digital pop culture of the time.
