Intro & Chapter 1 of Internet Art
The whole concept of "Internet Art" is difficult for me to comprehend, although it is clearer now. I find it hard to differentiate between "digital art" and "internet art," because it's hard for me to understand how some of the examples in the book are "art" and not just random websites. I like the "RadioTaxis" piece. It turns a very useful site into a work of art...I consider of it work of art simply because its aesthetically pleasing, though I am not overly-wowed by it. "The World's First Collaborative Sentence," by Douglas Davis is fun to read and accessible by anyone, meaning it isn't pretentious or hard to grasp like a lot of the art I have seen from the digital age. However, I am not sure that I really see it as "art." It's more like a fun little game.
