have thought a lot the last time (or meditated)
about what makes net-art (or what else --- i still
vote for i-art) interesting for me?
what might be seen as the 'essence' of the last years
working on the net?
interestingly some points have nothing to do with
'on the net' or 'off the net'
(and i re_moved the tech factor - too).
((some of - these are 'old' arguments))
[this is a personal - uncomplete - unsorted list]
a) the collaborative aspect (using e-mail, shared web space etc.)
b) the over_all reflection about (human) communication
c) the hyper-structural potential (i do not say hypertext - hyptxt in my
sight does not fulfill the idea of it)
in my view it is/can be seen/handled as another kind of thinking ......
d) the 're-turn', experience of a new minimalism/purisme in mixed-media-art
(appeared ie thru the limited bandwidth .................)
e) interactivity - reflections and creations (and there is in my view a
difference to interactivity used ie on cd-rom pubs)
f) fluidance and flexibility (looking at the working methods)

best,
Reiner
