A leading figure in the world of networked culture explores the artists and events that defined the mass medium of our time. Since 1989, the year of the World Wide Web's birth, the art world has grappled with the rise of networked culture. This unprecedented research on artists and innovators in this field from 1989 to the present is interlinked with the personal narrative of one of the leading voices in the digital world. In this book, Omar Kholeif, whose prolific career has paralleled the development of the internet, tells the story of this mass medium and how it has enhanced new possibilities for artists, both analog and digital. The book features works spanning a variety of media from legendary artists such as Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Nam June Paik, Heather Phillipson, and Wu Tsang. Following the key artists and innovators from the emergence of browser-based art to the dawn of NFTs, this is a narrative about the present and the future.
