After reading the “Web Work” by Rachel Greene, it helped clarify what net art really is. Before that, I don’t really know what it was and I was fascinated by the fact that it was created by accident during the development of computer technology. People never thought of using the internet as a material to create artwork that contains so many meanings and ideas. It is distinctive too, in its style and the way it is created. These artwork are powerful, being transmitted all around the internet. They spread like “virus” which I can make a reference to modern era memes. Prior to all of that, people only use the internet to create a personal web page that contains only information.
Today, net art has developed at an unprecedented level. Besides from the old way of creating net art with code, many artists are dependent on technology such as Sketch and Apple Pen to create artwork. Not only it creates a different style of art, but it helped human to express their ideas easily.
Net Art is visible everywhere in our lives from app interface to the funny memes on your social media. I believed it will the old traditional way of hand drawing with physical materials.
