This article introduces the history of the formation of internet art. Before reading this article, I don’t really know what is internet art. The author explains that it started in 1995 by accident. It may accidentally start by some individual attempts to create the art on the internet, but it truly starts at the point when people see the existing art on the internet and interact with it. Since then, Internet art can be said to have opened up a new world of art and culture. The creative logic of Internet art from the beginning is to serve the special media of the Internet. They exist only in digital media and do not depend on material substance as traditional art does. Network art can exist in the form of web pages, text, animation, video and other works on the Internet as the main stage. The artists have more freedom to create their works, which can be seen by people all over the world. The expansion of the audience means the artists can meet the audience with the same taste greatly which increased the artist’s enthusiasm and inspire them to create something new. But on the other hand, there is a potential problem that whether the artist will cater to the mainstream media in pursuit of click-through rate, thus lost their own unique style. Mainstream ideas will restrict creation. Considering these two features of net art, I somehow understand why the author says the net art is the equivalent of the animals in the zoo.
