JULIAN STALLABRASS - Internet Art. The Online Clash of Culture and Commerce

London England, Tate Publishing, 2003. 1st Trade Paperback, Binding: Soft Cover, Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 1854373455 Trade Paperback Trade Paperback. In its brief history internet art has moved from being the concern of a few brilliant amateurs to a position of prominence on the art scene. While much material art seen in convenitonal galleries feels disengaged with the world, caught up in weary variations of art-world concerns, Internet art is often humerous, socially aware and politically active. Accessible and jargon-free, this book explores the character of this new, dematerialised online art and the Internet's transformation into an arena for consumerism. The author suggests that Net art may have radical implications for the way in which we think about art's authorship and ownership and more fundamentally, our understanding of what is and what is not art.
