discussion

In the networked art the artwork 's boundaries

dissolve in the intertwined relationships between
subjects, objects,
strategies and theories. This
process not only modifies artistic, political
and
commercial models, but it transforms the culture,
the languages and
the logic behind the theories
of the interconnected society.

Inter-disciplinarity, indetermination,
transformation, decentralization
and interaction,
are among the key concepts of the sixties. But
they are
also the background of the artists that
have used the telematic networks to
plan new
worlds or to critique the existing ones. The
conference
'History of the Net Arts' has the
purpose to gather some important
experiences
about some of the most active subjects, their
actions and
external collaboration with
institutions, groups and movements, the

technologies they used and, even more
importantly, their theorical,
social and cultural
goals.
