#WebRoutes: Internet mapping artware. WebRoutes is a critical artware project that provides users with a window into the Internet infrastructure and geopolitical network topology that is inherently invisible to them as they browse the web. Viewing a website is much more than an exchange between you and that website. WebRoutes illustrates how every HTTP request can mean crossing country borders and interacting with dozens of companies who own and control portions of Internet infrastructure a webpage must use to get to your computer. By visualizing an augmented traceroute process, WebRoutes identifies the Autonomous Networks (AS), ISPs, Internet Exchange Point (IXP) crossings, and Submarine Cables that work together to ping-pong TCP/IP packets back and forth from web browsers to servers. By elongating a process that usually takes milliseconds, WebRoutes allows users to follow, analyze, and draw conclusions about the intricate, often counter-intuitive, paths their packets take on their journey through the Internet.
