Curator's statement ::

"Italy represents the craddle of European culture and art. During the centuries, continously came exciting impulses from there which gave the development of art new directions. People might ask themselves, how it would be in these technologically dominated times with New Media, where currently a special education is obviously only is in the beginning and no institution is currently focussed on these new formes of contemporary art working. Regarding this situation, it may surprise, that it is Italy where some of the most active and influencing online publications on New Media and art come from, to mention only these: Neural, Noema or Random. And regarding these conditions, it may not surprise on the other and, that especially from Italy come some very active netartists, even if some of them are continously under way between Italy and USA, especially New York. This feature would like to spotlight 20 of them. It is an exciting mixture between already well known and upcoming, emerging artists. Each of them represents a fascinating new aspect in appoarching this new art form: NetArt."

E.g.ø is continuing his research on minimal HTML/javascript art trying to render new emotions with a programming language that nowadays is considered old, static, etc... in opposition to Flash technology that is dominating the net.art scene".
