Media online : Software Art / Net Art / Community |

|
When the Internet emerged as a new information environment for society at large, in the latter half of the 1990s, artists, activists, and hackers took the lead in experimenting with it. Since then, in step with the swift development of technology, the Internet has become a standard part of society, and a vast outpouring of new forms of expression and participatory projects that incorporate other viewpoints and possibilities of the Internet has been produced. By terminals, we introduce works and projects that were particularly important points in the developmental history of the Internet over the past decade, grouping them into three categories: Net Art, Community, and Software Art. In considering them, we should not forget that, while based on the Internet, these projects were not exclusively online events; they fostered actual encounters and interactions between people, promoting forms of collaboration that went beyond the limits of what had been possible.
Some sites are not displayed because they no longer exist at all or have changed significantly. The exhibition catalog, however, presents those sites as they were during their period of seminal contributions to Internet-related art.
