Talk:Net.art

A number of artists are constantly added to this article as part of the historical 'net.art' group. They are constantly removed because they are simply not part of the group, and most of them look like vanity links.'net.art' is not a genre, it is a name that a certain number of people in Europe and Eastern Europe gave to their network practice, which was united by political concerns and a networked critical communication. This group has a limited number of people (even if they did host or show other people's internet art). If you want to show connections between net.artists and other net (no dot) artists (Internet Art, digital art, networks art, etc.), I suggest that these artists are only *mentioned* as artistically or politically related to the concerns of net.artists. Someone did that for what they called a new generation of net.artists such as the Codeworks poets or Christophe Bruno, or jimpunk, etc. this was wrong but still, it remained. Please be aware where you are inserting these mentions and try to argue why you are making the connections (not only because they are famous or recognized by museums). It would be better I think for the critical value of the article.

Removed Martin Sjardijn since this person is not related to net.art by any means.

Changed the link from desk.nl to thing.desk.nl. The first is a commercial company, the second an arts portal. 21:12, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
