Like every other art form, net.art deserves context. There once was a time not too long ago when net art was not about art history: it was more clearly MAKING art history. In this spirit of making history, the student-curated exhibitions featured here seek to invent possible readings of net art culture via thematic clusters as well as good old-fashioned content mash-ups. The projects take risks by attempting to make meaning of the work being developed in the field, by tracing the lines that bind present to precedent, movement to media, and the creative impulse to constructed outcome. If you ever wondered how one might curate a net art show, check out these examples developed by undergraduate students at TECHNE.
