JOSEPHINE BOSMA
NETTITUDES
Let's Talk Net Art
NAi Publishers (August 31, 2011)
Series: Studies in Network Cultures
Initially arising from such Internet-specific cultures such as gaming, social networking and e-commerce, net art has flourished since the mid-1990s, particularly in the Netherlands. Nettitudes focuses on the leading role played by Dutch artists in the development of net art. Josephine Bosma was one of the first theorists and historians of the net art and net radio movements, and here she discusses some of its best known exponents, such as Jodi (the Dutch-Belgian artistic duo Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans), the artist Peter Luining and the Internet personality Mouchette.org. Bosma's much-anticipated study guides the reader through the numerous stages in the development of internet art, and argues for its exciting prospects as a discipline synthesizing music, sound art, visual art, writing and photography, existing on a platform that allows its creators to escape the pigeonholes of conventional art criticism.
