My first net project was a multimedial novel, a fictive homepage of a girl called Rosie. I have been creating the Rosie Homepage (later under the title City.je) in stages, with long gaps in between. (1997- 1999). It started as a typical girl's homepage, but then a story began to develop involving more characters. The story uses the resources of the Internet, such as the combination of sound, picture and hypertext. Apart from being excited by the new technical possibilities, I have been mainly inspired by the strange atmosphere of the unreal world of the Internet, in which we receive information only through the monitor. It is a world of fictive homepages and informal communication with friends we know only under their Internet identities. It is a place where you can be whatever you want.
