Every IP, 1999

This project is called 1:1. It is a project that was created in 1999 as a collection of database. The database was created to eventually contain the addresses of every website in the world. The data was collected through sending out a crawler, which will determine if there is a website at a specific numeric address, which is called IP and range between 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255. The crawler also determines whether the website is open to public or not. When this project first started in 1999, around two percent of the website, which is around 186100 sites were included in the database. However, the internet world in changing at a speed faster than anticipated in 2001 so the first version of this project is out of date.

1:1 (2) is then created as a continuous project based on the first version. This project consists of the database of the website addresses generated between 2001 and 2002. This second project also includes interfaces that compare the data between the first and the second database.
