counted

"counted" is a net.art piece by Reiner Strasser that uses the affordances of the web browser to emphasize, with an animated background of escalating numbers, the body count of the conflict in Kosovo on April 1st, 1999. The piece includes a photo of a body taken from Amnesty International with a single-word caption shifting between "counted," "documented," "archived," "buried," and "forgotten."
