Hypothete: Broad Generalizations about Net Artists

by Art Fag City on August 3, 2010 Fresh Links!

  • Hypothete: Broad Generalizations about Net Artists – Describes two camps of net art: The Timothy Leary Camp, "These artists are very art historical, and emulate other media (sculpture, painting" )and Ken Kesey and the Merry Prankst. "These artists are net historical. They embrace gifs, visible pixels and file corruption"…and this is so useful: "What matters in camp two's work – or what is emphasized by the artists – is not so much the individual artwork as the artist's oeuvre and net presence. This is one reason why these artists don't receive as much coverage – you can't pin a work down as easily." Via: Tom Moody
