After some back and forth on RAW, Luther Blissett explained:

www. HELL.COM was born in 1995 as a conceptual art piece, an anti-web
that sold and promoted nothing and was not accessible to the public: a
sheer b(l)ack hole of the web. For almost three years, HELL.COM, a site
with no content, never listed in any directory nor linked anywhere,
averages of a million hits per month from people typing the name in
search engines. It becomes therefore a conteiner for net.art sites and
art galleries in which is possible to get in only if you are invited and
whom list of member s is kept secret; it's what themselves call "a
private parallel web." The idea behind HELL.COM is to create a launching
pad for cyber-artists extremly elitist and with badly hidden venal
ambitions… a fuckin' museum!

During february 1999 HELL.COM organized "surface": a show with several
superstar net artists like zuper!, absurd, fakeshop and many more. Like
all the events by HELL.COM also this one was not available to the
public, but was opened exclusively to RHIZOME subscribers.

During the 48 hours opening 0100101110101101.ORG downloaded all the
files of the site; the clone has been put on line, this time
anticopyright, visible, reproducible and freely diffusible and, thanks
to some technical devices, even more easily downloadable.

According to 0100101110101101.ORG "the convinction that information must
be free is a tribute to the way in which a very good computer or a
valid program work: binary numbers move in accordance with the most
logic, direct and necessary way to do their complex function. What is a
computer if not somthing that benefit by the free flow of information? "

At the moment the site is on line at the url:
http://www.0100101110101101.ORG/hell.com The situation is constantly
changing and nobody knows if and how long the site will remain active;
actually HELL.COM has already threatened legal proceedings for copyright
violations.
