In 1997 the art making duo MTAA produced an animated GIF that functioned as an artist statement, a manifesto, and a call to action. “Simple Net Art Diagram” locates art in the exchange of ideas, and invites other people to propose their own definitions for art. It’s a simple challenge, but one that’s proved meaningful to artists again and again since they made it close to twenty years ago. We’ll be surveying those GIFs next week, but in a preview of the post to come, here’s what artist Jim Punk did to remix the GIF in 2006 (slightly remixed to fit the column width of Art F City.) We like it.
