Superbad

Superbad is a web art project by Ben Benjamin, a San Fransisco-based graphic design (not the song by James Brown or the film featuring McLovin). It was started in 1997, and is a sprawling maze of imagery you click on to move through. Sometimes it seems like you're going round and round in circles, sometimes it seems completely chaotic.

If you're interested in web design, most of pages are actually very simple. The site is essentially a huge collection of linked random images and text. It is probably the complete opposite of what Jakob Neilsen promotes on his UseIt site - a rather draconian approach to making web sites as user-friendly as possible.
