What is net art? Net art is a site-specific art form that is bound to its own presence and impact on the internet. It is an elusive and sometimes anarchic art form that uses the internet as its primary material. They usually draw on data from other internet materials and websites, which helps give them their distinctive dynamics. With the popularization of web browsing in the 1990s, artists began to circumvent traditional modes of display in institutional art settings by creating interactive, interconnected viewing experiences. Often used interchangeably with “new media art”, net art includes a wide range of works created by artists using web browsers, developer codes, scripts, search engines, and various other online tools.
