Re: Re: attempting to share net.art with friends & family


Tough question. I suppose there are a variety of reasons (feedback,
recognition, encouragement, amusement, etc.) for exposing one's work to
others. Personally, I had to share it with my friends and family so they'd
stop accusing me of looking at porn 12 hours a day. :)

Re: Re: attempting to share net.art with friends & family


maybe "what's the point?" ... is not a question of net.art but an answer
net.artists provoke about media content. after all, artists working in
other mediums don't have to deal with that question.

> I get the same from people, mainly when they ask me what I focus on as an
artist. When I am introduced to a complete stranger, she/he often assumes I
paint, but after visiting my website, an e-mail follows usually wondering
along the same lines as you described in your own experience -- "what is
the point in that? Or how do you sell it? You should paint! blah, blah..."

medium; and that it is still a challenge for institutions to develop decent
exhibitions. The latter is a good thing because it means that net art may
be one of the hardest mediums to be marketable to the mass public. This is
all the slippery informatin based medium has left as its
institutionalization is complete by this point.

attempting to share net.art with friends & family


i've received some strange looks when exposing friends and family to net.ar=
t.

once, someone said to me "what's the point?". and for some reason i was co=
mpelled to ask him what was the point of a TV show. he stared at me blankl=
y for about a minute and then went back into the living room to watch TV. =
i think my question pissed him off a little. oh well.

i'm curious if anyone else has had difficulty sharing net.art with others. =
and who on rhizome has the best, funniest, weirdest response after trying =
to expose net.art to friends/family/strangers/whatever
