The Art, Technology, and Culture Colloquium
of UC Berkeley's Center for New Media Presents:
The History of Net Art from 1995 to the Google IPO
Rachel Greene, Rhizome and New Museum of Contemporary Art
Mon, 28 Feb, 7:30-9pm: UC Berkeley, 160 Kroeber Hall
All ATC Lectures are free and open to the public.
=====================================================
Although the scope of contemporary visual art is enormous, internet
art is still being established as a legitimate category. Strong works
of internet art are able to speak about the worlds of informational
technology, databases, oversaturation, hacking, etc in ways that other
mediums cannot. Furthermore, internet art's place in post-Conceptual
art and avant-garde genealogies remains largely uncharted. Rachel
Greene will argue that the internet may be the best medium for those
interested in avant-garde and oppositional art-making.
What is internet art? Is it good? Who makes it? Who buys it? Who shows
it? Who cares? Greene will address these and other questions in a talk
based in part on her recent book. She will relate the storied history
of internet art's premier organization, Rhizome.org, and address the
future of new media art in a context informed by Google, blogs, and
the heightened trendiness of visual art.
