Net Art

▪️▫️ — 22
#monochrome-monday #mono 

🖤 In the midst of the current market turmoil, some distraction is sorely needed. Time to explore and learn about NET ART. It's actually an art *genre* that started as soon as artists realized they could leverage the possibilities of the internet and the underlying tech to create novel forms of artistic expression, distribution and storytelling.

🤍 We don't have to take a narrow view for the event today, you can share anything you consider *internet art* in the wider sense. But be sure to mention the artist! Add #mono or #monochrome-monday *tags*. Let's celebrate art today and forget about the markets for a moment!

👉 Not gonna stop, a new art channel each week, today on /net-art. Brought to you by @lonliboy, @dennis-chilas and @vortac

"A collaborative art duo consisting of the Dutch artist Joan Heemskerk and the Belgian Dirk Paesmans , Jodi. org is responsible for many of the best-loved Internet artworks of the ‘90s— including most famously wwwwwwwww. jodi. org from 1995. An initial visit to the URL shows a page of nonsensical numbers, symbols, and letters, rendered in green on a black background that recalls the programmer’s terminal window. Viewing the webpage’s source info (right-click and select “View Page Source”) reveals the real "artwork": a series of digital “text-drawings” reminiscent of technical diagrams but made using the markup language HTML. Here, the hidden “instructions” are themselves the finished product—the alphanumeric hodge-podge one sees on the site’s front page is merely the incidental result of this coding."  (Artspace)
