Summary:

During the 1990s, net art burst onto the scene as a radical reflection on the role of technology in contemporary art. In Nettitudes, Dutch art critic Josephine Bosma catalogues the tumultuous history of art as it became situated in the material dimensions of the Internet, from the spectacular interventions of the first decade to today's dispersed practices, including online acoustics, poetry and archiving.

Never the darling of the media art institutions and ignored by many curators and critics since its emergence, net art still persists as a 'non-movement', residing in the cracks of contemporary media culture. Nettitudes provides an analytical foundation and an insider's view on net art's many expressions as it grapples with the aesthetic, conceptual and social issues of our times. Book jacket.
