Museum Art
The Benefits Of Using Net Art by Roddy Smith
Internet art is the name given to artwork which is available online or especially created for the web. In many cases there is a strong emphasis on interaction and mass participation. For many artists the global reach and freedom of expression is preferred to traditional art galleries.
Plus the web is an ideal showcase for unknown artists who struggle to get their work seen in a gallery, museum or other traditional settings. These artists like the immediacy and openness which enables them to showcase their work to people around the world.
Examples of net art
There are various types of artworks online which include:
• Painting
• Illustration
• Graphics/3D
• Digital installation
• Performance
• Video
• Audio
• Photography
Many of these genres appear offline but others are specially conceived for the web. They are created to deliver a personal message, a statement about something happening in the world or as a reflection on the artist’s personal experiences.
For example networked performance in which the artist uses virtual worlds such as Second Life to engage with an audience or software art in which a piece of software is specially developed to function as an artwork.
Audience engagement
For some people this is their preferred way of engaging with artworks particularly if they are new to this field. These are often people who would not set foot inside an art gallery but will browse through electronic images on the web. It can be a good introduction to the art world as it breaks down the old stereotypes of art as being elitist, pretentious and inaccessible.
Artists’ websites Many artists have their own websites which contain examples of their work. Some choose to have the old fashioned brochure type of site which displays their work but is a passive rather than an active site. Whereas others will make full use of web 2.0 technologies and have a site which demands active engagement from its visitors. Here visitors are encouraged to join in discussions, post comments, purchase artworks and visit exhibitions and events.
Social Media art
Social media has got in on the act. If art is seen as a form of personal expression then tweeting, posting videos on YouTube, uploading photos onto Flickr and updating a blog fall into that category.
Each time you use one of these social media tools then you are making a statement about who you are; your values, opinions and motivations. If you want to be controversial, vent about something or get people talking then social media allows you to do so in the same way artists have done so albeit with different tools.
You can be Jekyll and Hyde but be aware that you may be viewed in ways which you didn’t envision. But social media is an ideal platform if you yourself are the artwork.
