FLOATING POINTS: NET ART NOW is a speaker series examining some of the
current critical areas being explored by net-based artists:
interactivity, visualization, Internet protocol, software art,
generative art, mapping, and games. The series considers contemporary
theoretical and conceptual issues in net art, challenging notions of the
art object, the artist and the audience. Steve Dietz will introduce the
series with an overview of the current state of net art.
