This hyperessay, written by Julie Luckenbach and designed by Louis Mazza, accompanied the 1998 Walker exhibition Joseph Beuys: Multiples. The essay "exforms" Beuys' life, art, and ideas through several sections: biography, acoustics, material as metaphor, art and life, silence, language/communication, philosophical influences, chalkboards, continuance, and resources. The site won the first annual Web 100 Award from the American Center for Design in 1998.
