It extremely interesting to learn about the evolution of net art. I love how the person who coined the term got it from a computer code glitch. I also found it interesting that Europe and Russia were key components to the launch of net art. Although it does make sense since the platform for the art is literally the internet. That's why net art is so unique and beautiful, anyone anywhere is an artist, and has the power to produce and display their creations. I think net art played a huge role in connecting people from other countries together. It began to bring collaborators together and different ideas and culture could be shared. It's cool to see how official net art used to be compared to how blown out it is now. I can't believe the people that were apart of the first net art sites were legitimately museum curators and other high held positions in the art world. I really enjoyed learning about the jodi.org and how interactive the page could be in such an early state of net art. The fact that these art pages were created only with code and without softwares that we have now like illustrator and figma is crazy to me. It's amazing to see where digital art started, how far we've come and what people speculate this space will go to. The art net was the big boom of its time, and created so many crazy paths for internet art, and now it's NFTs turn to take off.
