Due to the inexhaustibility of the web,
the critical analysis of a web-specific artwork may at first appear problematic.
There is no right or best way to read a web-specific art piece;
there are merely different ways of viewing.
While there are certainly viewings that seem richer,
the fullness of the viewing is most likely proportionate
to the amount of time spent within a web-specific art site
and/or even due to the imagination of the viewer themself.
It is difficult to simply shift centers and say Web-specific art is "better" than a linear piece,
Certainly, it allows a more involved, if not richer and fuller, experience
than what is offered by the non-web-specific art
since imagination can now be coupled with participation.
