net theory >>
What happens to practice-based research when it gets teleported to the online space? Metamorphosis. Surf-Sample-Manipulate. Codework. An emerging digital rhetoric that blurs the boundaries between Internet art, critical theory, and electronic literature. Being a digital artist now means using the net as both a compositional and exhibition medium. Here we explore the work of theoretical classics, hyper/text/theory, open source information architecture, net art and its exhibition context, and works of art that reinvent the theoretical essay.

exhibition contexts >>
Exhibition contexts searches the web for voices that address the primary issue of how Internet art is being absorbed or defying absorption into the mainstream museum and art world institutions. What was once a given, that is, that net artists would remain obscure and exhibit their own work from their self-chosen domain names, has changed significantly. With net art practice making its way into the Whitney Biennial, the Tate Modern, SFMOMA, and many other notable institutions, does this mean the commodification process has begun? Yes. But has it succeeded? No.
