Book Description

Black and white edition /// What is Net art? Does its name refer to the medium it uses? Is it the art of the Netizens, the inhabitants of the internet? Is it an art movement or an art form? This book aims to provide a starting point in the search for answers to these and similar questions concerning the existence of Net art. Edited by Marie Meixnerová, a Czech curator and scholar, #mm Net Art approaches Internet art as a developing art form, through five thematic sections that map the "chronological" stages of this development. Featured authors include Katarína Rusnáková, Dieter Daniels, Marie Meixnerová, Domenico Quaranta, Natalie Bookchin, Alexei Shulgin, Piotr Czerski, Brad Troemel, Artie Vierkant, Ben Vickers, Jennifer Chan, Gene McHugh, Gunther Reisinger, Matěj Strnad, Lumír Nykl. For those who know little about it, this anthology can serve as an introduction; to the expert reader, it offers new and as yet unpublished information, and hopefully a new perspective.
