Hi all,

re: the discussion about net art being
weakend/not-as-interesting/killed/whatever-you-want-to-call-it

There has been several assertions made that the dot.com bust poured
cold water on the movement but I wanted to look at it a little more
closely.

As some of you know, M.River and I were very much involved with the
net art movement from 97 onward. I was also working within the dot.com
bubble at the time and was very attuned to its movements.

I remember knowing there was trouble with the bubble in mid-'00. Then,
by late 00/early 01, it was obvious to everyone that the burst had
happened. (See this graph of the nasdaq:

I was out of work in early/mid 00 and it was super-easy to get a
dot.com gig at the time due to the fact that the forward momentum of
companies isn't as easily stopped as the rise of their stock price.

Remembering the crash, I was thinking at the time that it *would*
throw cold water on the net art movement and thinking that it didn't
seem to be happening.

Probably due to the fact that museums and art institutions are even
slower moving than businesses, it took a good year or two after the
dot.com burst for the net art fad to fizzle in the art institutions.
Not to say that the dot.com collapse didn't help cause it, but it took
a while for it to be felt.
