rachel greene asked:

if you were going to give an introduction/presentation on Web art to an
important art critic – which sites would you show and why?

the following are some reponses from the RHIZOME community.

becouse is something completly different than most or Web (art), and
it's art…

Webbed Feats at:

http://www.webbedfeats.org

because it is an attempt to use the web as a medium for artistic
exchange and collaboration

because it is trying to link a real space to a cyber space (through art
making)…

because Rob Roth's design of the site is worth looking at….

because it is the first attempt at creating site-specific performance
(involving dance, theater, poetry, music) art (on this scale)
originating on line…

I would also suggest you look at the Brain Opera site (at MIT) which
shares some of the same characteristics but for a different type of
performance (music)…..
