Neumorphic is an ongoing network(as-site)-specific series of compositional code studies that takes its cues from skeuomorphism in graphical user interface (GUI) design. Skeuomorphism mimics physicality, or realness, in GUI design and has become a visual language of ?virtual? (online and digital) spaces that employs ?trompe l’oeil?, another more traditional and historical form of virtuality. Each study of Neumorphic employs this reality-mimicking digital visual language and is composed of HTML, CSS and JavaScript, themselves network native ?languages?. The studies all maintain a restricted colour pallet derived from skeuomorphism, occasionally employ animation, and are explorations of the intersection of ?real? and ?virtual? visuality. They are collected together in the form of a sprawling infinite-scroll weblog, which is organised according to how the weblog is loaded, the browser window size and occasional user interaction.
