The net.art Manifesto |
|
| net.art definition: | |
| a.) net.art is a self-defining term created by a malfunctioning piece of software, originally used to describe an art and communications activity on the internet. | |
| b.) net.artists sought to break down autonomous disciplines and outmoded classifications imposed upon various activists practices. | |
| ... | |
| The net.art world had a lot of artists in this period who came from somewhere on the periphery. There was also a bit of an 'arte povera' side to this classic network art or net art and perhaps that is why artists from places far from the mainstream of art – the Post-Soviet states and the Eastern Bloc – all started to engage with it very intensively. There were also very strong financial reasons for this. We could not think of starting to work with expensive computers because they were not available to us. | |
