Network Art - Practices and Positions
Edited by: Tom Corby

Network Art brings an international group of leading theorists and
artists together to investigate how the internet, in the form of
websites, mailing lists, installations and performance, has been used
by artists to develop artwork.
Covering a period from the mid 1990s to the present day, this
fascinating text includes key texts by historians and theorists such
as Charlie Gere, Josephine Bosma, Tilman Buarmgartel and Sarah
Cook, alongside descriptions of important projects by
Thomson and Craighead, Lisa Jevbratt and 0100101110101101.org
amongst many others.
Fully illustrated throughout, and including many pictures of artworks
never before seen in print, Network Art represents one of the
first substantial attempts to place major artist's writings on 
network art
alongside those of critics, curators and historians. In doing
so it takes a unique approach, offering the first comprehensive 
attempt
to understand network art practice, rooted in concrete
descriptions of the systems and the process required to create it.
