Where do they find these people?
"It's interesting that, as far as I am aware, no contemporary artist
has yet harnessed this extraordinary technology to make a significant
artwork. Of course, maybe I'm wrong and am missing something great -
do you know of any net-based art works that are worth a look?
Maybe you have made one (an artwork made specifically for the medium,
as opposed to a film such as the one above, which uses the net only as
a means of dissemination)?
If you, like me, can't find any net-based art of note, why do you
think that is? Why, when there's been such a boom in contemporary art
around the world, has no artist made the medium of the web his or her
canvas? And if someone were to use the net as a medium, as opposed to
making an image, or a video, or even an interactive Flash animation,
what would the resulting art look, or sound, or feel like?"
