Links: Internet Art

Written June 27. 1999, at 01:00 GMT.

New York Times has a seemingly pretty interesting weekly column called art@large (username = password = cypherpunk) which focuses mostly on internet art and how artists experiment with using (information) technology to make new kind of art.

It has a page with recommended external-links to art-sites.

What pointed me to this column was a link to an article there called No Clicking Allowed in Artists Browser. This is about an artist who's made an alternative type of web content browser which does not abide by the same rules as other browsers, intended to give users a more fluid and less conciously controlled experience of the web.

The article points out how many of today's artists are starting to focus more and more on the underlying technology of the Net rather than on content and pictures. This is somewhat similar to what I have been doing myself. Less and less of my ideas and thoughts revolve around making content. Cool ideas like Crit, however, are something that always make my brain tick faster.
