What Is Internet Art?

Internet Art is a kind of art that uses the Internet as its mode of dissemination. Art is often interactive and participatory and may use several different mediums. This method strays from the traditional gallery and museum system, allowing even tiny artists to share their work with a large audience. Artists who do this kind of art are usually called net artists. The term "Internet Art" was coined by Oliver Grau in 1996 when he published his book "Cyberculture: A Critical Introduction." While Grau's definition was broad, other scholars have explored more specific aspects of the genre. For example, in 2011, Julie Stephens wrote an article titled "Interactive Art: Defining the Genre." Stephens outlined 15 criteria for what she considers interactive art, including interactivity, the creation of meaning through interaction with an artwork's digital space, an emphasis on participation over observation, and a focus on social interaction between participants to their relationship to the painting itself. There is no one way to create Internet art, but many types of media have a built-in platform for publishing on the Internet, and many artists are experimenting with code to create public works of art. The Internet allows artists to freely express themselves without considering physical limitations or censorship. Online art can be used as a way to communicate with others or as a way to express feelings and thoughts. You can use it to inform or educate others or as a way to share creative ideas. You can use the Internet to display art in several ways. While "internet art" is often used to describe interactive or collaborative works, any art published online can be considered Internet art. Internet art is a form of art that exists in the digital realm. The Internet is commonly used to create and distribute digital art, but you can find it in other conditions such as print, video, and performance.
