I understand why the other years are shown but why 1990? Just a random choice or did something happen that year that I’m forgetting?

I mean I don't know but I have been surprised at little things the artist has done but it was the year tim berners lee did a first like www server thing.

Here's some of Wikipedia's list of important events from 1990 (reformatted into a proper list):

  • The Human Genome Project started
  • Hubble Space Telescope was launched
  • Various communist countries were in the process of collapsing
  • The Gulf War started
  • The early '90s recession started
  • The World Wide Web was invented (as the other reply mentioned already mentioned)

I have no idea which, if any, of these events the author might have had in mind.
