[Intro] "At the turn of the millennium, the international art community has begun to
recognize the significance of the Internet as a milieu for expression and
critical inquiry of issues such as the globalization of capitalist culture...
This essay attempts to view from a critical perspective the matrix of issues
surrounding these questions of corporate influence and control of intellectual
property. Subsequently, I will speculate upon the possible implications that
will derive from the intersection between the aesthetic and the material in the
age of the Internet."
