The name of the project is contamination of Azeri ‘Tor’ – ‘spider’s net’ and English ‘Web punk’, Internet subculture with specific visual products that is spread across social networks. ‘Torpunk’ is the author’s term for Dadaistic digital collages, which are very popular in the blogs of young Azerbaijanis born in 1990s.
