Setting the stage....
welcome to my blog.
i am going to be discussing web based art (also known as Internet Art, Web Art, Net Art, Net.Art, etc...) and things relevant to that topic here. This blog will be in progress for the next few weeks, and you should expect (at least) twenty posts by the end..
so hopefully someone will find this interesting, or if the text isn't interesting, at least come back and click the links.
over the course of this blog i hope to showcase some web based art sites, discuss topics that are relavent to creative web development as well as how internet art plays into the whole art scene through history and in relation to other contemporary art movements.
but first, an explaination... "web based art"...
when i refer to web based art here i am not refering to animations used for ads, or icons on a web page, or web pages that jsut show art. what i mean is that the webpage is turned into an art peice. this can be thought of the same way as a video or photograph. the web is just another medium which can be used to create art.
if this page were a discussion of video based art, i would not be discussing videos of sculptures or paintings, and i would not be discussing an advertisement. the same is true here with web art. hopefully that clears up some stuff. feel free to respond with questions or comments, especially if you need some clarification...
but of course, in the world of mass media and contemporary art the lines between "art" and "advertising" are constantly blurring, so it may be hard to avoid reflecting on some advertising, but if that does happen. it will be only a very select few, and it will have to stand up as a peice of art just as every other web art peice will.
well, hopefully that is a decent introduction to this topic, and hopefully my intentions are clear.
