> > BELIEF IS THE ENEMY. The concept of the "splash screen" is derived
> > from commercial desktop application software. A "splash screen"
> > displays a fancy logo while the program loads into memory. But
> > splash screens are more than just corporate identity symbols. Their
> > purpose is to hide the actual process of the program launching: the
> > linking to libraries, allocation of memory, establishment of file
> > and network access, etc.. 
>
> > Splash screens, especially when they cover the launch process of an
> > entire operating system, are anaesthetic control devices. They
> > camouflage the guts, lulling consumers into believing that nothing
> > to worry about is going on underneath, and leaving control to those
> > who know to access and control the sourcecode. They are the perfect
> > platform for a Net Art whose chief concern is surface graphics and
> > its corporate identity.
