Joshua Davis releases ps0.praystation.v0
Flash creative coder pioneer Joshua Davis released ps0.praystation.v0, his website for exhibiting experimental design and art using code, specifically Flash. The site also served as an important community resource for open source code. As a place for artists to both exhibit and learn, praystation.com was critical in the development of the intersection of the Internet, digital art and Mass Media art.
