First-5:What are the first five websites you visit every day?

Published 11th July 2012

First Five asks artists, academics and theorists the first five websites that they visit each day. Do the websites we read shape, describe and identify who we are? How do we choose to visit these sites?

First Five is not a musical playlist, but a website playlist. It asks various thinkers, creative types, culturally important people, academics, and even Open CuRate It’s Boo Chapple to list their top browsing habits. It’s an interesting reflection of our changing culture, and a great place to find fantastic websites.

Alfredo Cramerotti is a writer, curator, editor and artist working across a variety of media such as TV, radio, publishing, internet, media festivals, photography, writing and exhibition curating.
