Internet Art: The Online Clash of Culture and Commerce
The development of Internet art has been short and rapid and dates from the introduction of web browsers in the mid-1990s. Artists realized the potential of a medium and system of delivery that side-stepped the mainstream art institutions and allowed them to make direct contact with an audience. Their interventions have ranged from works that deconstruct the browser itself, to works that shade into political activism. Internet art has been international, with distinct contributions emerging from the US, the Far East, Europe, the countries of the former Eastern Bloc, and the Third World.

Internet as a medium for artistic expression
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I found this book to focus less about the art on the internet and more of a critique of it. Though it cites examples, it rather addresses issues about the internets role in culture, its role in the public domain vs. privitization, philosophies of internet and interactivity. The book is quite interesting and brings up issues that should be activly looked at in todays commercial world. I recommend this to all artists who are active in working with multimedia or even those in advertising and marketing who would like to brush up on some marketing schemes and how the internet applys to todays commercial world.
