Can the Net.Art experience can be described as a subversive? Should this movement be catagporized by being unsatisfied with what is handed to us by those who seem to be in control of code and/or information?
Is Net.art a movement that seeks actions that may have negative consequences, especially when appropriating material, or trying to subvert the stronghold of corporations on a resource that could be used for creative community building. Community building that is not based on merchandising, but based on creating new ways of thinking about our future and how our lives are shaped by the world we live in today, especially when it comes to ideas not excepted by the mainstream or majority.
Is net.art about one particular thing, or is it just a mess of things labeled Net.art that could very well have its own label, especially now that the net is connected with our lives in an almost seamless fashion. Should net.art just be called public art.
