Have you felt confused by the amount of choices you have when going to Rafaël Rozendaals artwork-website list? Experts say that consumers get paralysed when presented with more than four choices. So how will you be able to choose between more than a hundred artwork-websites? Sometimes you just want a curator to choose which art you should consume. Maybe this is the reason museums are so appealing?
everything always somewhere is the institution you have been waiting for. A browser extension that automatically cycles between websites created by Rafaël Rozendaal.
The name comes from Rozendaals website everything always everywhere .com. The idea is that the extension enables you to see all (or most) websites by Rafaël Rozendaal (everything) sequentially on a single monitor (always somewhere).
It is available for you for free. You can even look at, learn from and contribute to the code, as it is open source.

The websites are stored as a JSON dictionary in inject.js. They were fetched on 29th November 2017 from the website listing all websites developed for mobile by that time.
The institution does not want you to do labour for the art to come alive. By default, everything always somewhere gives you the right to remain a passive consumer. Soon you will be able to watch automated interaction. Independent net art experts will judge where this is appropriate without destroying the essence of the artwork-website.
