Descriptions & Essays
"The distorted Barbie" is a web-art installation that displayed digitally altered images of Barbie dolls in order to comment on Barbie as a cultural/commercial symbol and pop-icon. He published his original Distorted Barbie both on his own site at Interport and in the e-zine Enterzone. Napier admirers describe the piece as "a web-based exploration in words and images of the impact Barbie and all her baggage have had on our bodies and culture. The site is a poetic and potent piece of Internet art." (source: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/property00/respect/csbarbie.html)
