For @adiw_galih, Web Nostalgia means remembering when going online felt like a little adventure.

After School returns to a childhood when the internet felt full of possibilities.
“It was a space where curiosity, exploration, friendship, and imagination could grow.”
For Kento, that memory takes the form of a physical collectible. 🎴

Created digitally, After School begins on a screen. As a Kento card, it offers another way to experience the work: something to hold, enjoy, and collect.

“I miss ugly UI.”
For Violet Forest (@violet_forest), web nostalgia lives in personal websites, customized pages, and the links that led from one person’s world to another.
That spirit runs through her work for Kento Season 01. 🧵↓

Her Kento works are webcore.html and McBlingee.html.
She wanted to make a 3D website where people could revisit the early internet, or experience a version of it for the first time. Her idea: a Windows XP landscape you could actually surf through, populated with preserved work is the website, and the card is simply a physical bookmark to it, a link to the original."

For @ALIENQUEENART, Web Nostalgia is personal.
“As a kid, I was always drawing, wanted to make cartoons, and wanted to design video games. The internet came later and gave me a way to share my work and connect with people.”
Those early experiences became part of the visual s with today. 🧵

@ALIENQUEENARTstalgia and surrealism carries into her work for Kento Season 01.
For Web Nostalgia, she created three cards:
Afterschool,The Hacker, and Cyber Girl.
The series pulls from after-school screen time, AOL-era internet culture, hacker mythology, and the colorful optimism of Y2K.
