Yes it's that time. Net art is upon us.
'But what is it?'
'Is it art on the net?'http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif
Well hell yeah stupid...but its only created for the web. You shouldn't find this art anywhere else!
'WHY!'
because its net art. Its a new platform of art created for those who surf the net.
The sites are random to say the least.
But check them out. If you look at this form of new media with an open mind, you just may see the point. If not...well hell i cant make you like it but certainly question it.
Net Art - the list
Here are projects and archives that are designed to be viewed through a web browser. They include Flash and html sites.
turbulence - Turbulence is a project of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. (aka Ether-Ore)
Tate online - have a really good look through this site, its fantastic. Its touchable movable art. I cant see that its ever the same revisited, again and again. Every time you respond to the pages, essentially you are creating a new piece each time. WICKED!
Superbad - serious headache. If anybody can make any sense of this please tell me what it is, except from very pretty!
Infinite wheel - ought to you by the 'Dub City Rockers' its Dub selection Flash stylee fantastic!
Tokyo Plastic - this site is very slick! but essentially flash animators showing the frack off!
Rhizome - Art of the new millennium. This is a site and organisation dedicated to Archive and commissioning organisation for net art.

Session 4 Flash Mobbing
Flash mobbing, from what I can understand was created by a dude in America, to hit the young American 'trendies'. Trendies are uber cool peeps that will do any latest trend to stay uber cool. (Let’s hope eating poop never becomes one of them!) So this guy thinks up a plan to start a new cool trend that basically points the finger at the trendies and makes a laugh of them. Well the outcome of this experiment was slightly different.
The formula to flash mobbing is that it is a secret and under cover event. Contact details of a flash event organiser are posted on the internet or flyers in certain places (usually universities). People wishing to take part would be able to contact a number by text with their contact details. Then when a flash event is about to take place, the organiser will contact all applicants with the event, time, date and terms of the event.
Flash mobbing is harmless but has the parlance of being very anarchistic.

I found this interesting flashmob manifesto. It's translated English about half way down.
Scroll slowly or you'll miss it!
OWWW! More look, keep looking.....

Session 3 Performance Video Art
Performance within video uses multi platforms in which new media can be produced.
Platforms such as the web namely net.art, video instillation, performance and video instillation, and performance art.
The artist we used, as examples today were Michel Gondry - with the Chemical Brothers ' let forever be'.
This particular video incorporated music performance, and dance performance on the platform of moving image.
Also explore Spike Jones and 'Torrance Dance Group' instillation. This is a great example of liver performance in context, moving into a moving image format for a music performance. I think it’s important for the students to understand that MTV offers a music video that goes with a music track. But an artist thinks these videos up and the involvement of art, performance and the symbolism within that is something to be recognised.
Essentially what these artists are doing is taking instillation out of the 4 white walls it is usually recognised in and bringing it to your home.
So lets just hope that people do recognise this, as new media is in affect old media reproduced in new languages to be accommodating for audiences.
I wonder if the audience has caught on to this yet?
Oh one more to think about...

Session 2 Throwies
New Media Technologies: I found these when studying new media at BCU. The actual technology was designed by the Graffiti Research Lab
The Graffiti Research lab runs with the Eyebeam gallery In NY. Take a look at what they have going on. They utilise alot of low budget new media technologies and openly make them available for anybody to do themselves. One of these being 'Throwies'
The idea of reusable graffiti art is fantastic, as it enables artist to create some pretty special tags and art works that are non-permanent and re-usable for an amount of time. Throwies are cost effective when ordered in bulk, so enable group 'Throwies' sessions to take place with a minimum of cost.
Many more ideas like this are available at Graffiti Research Lab
Have a good look around these pages, they are making a good point about expression and outlets in which we can utilise to do it. It may at points seem a little anarchistic, but its very pretty and thats the most important thing when trying to get funding for this kind of instillation art!
