Tatiana Bazzichelli (2008) Networking. The Net as Artwork

Abstract

The concept that networking is art is loaded with meaning, since it unites two seemingly different worlds: the practices of networking with that of art. In this context, however, the two are perfectly integrated. To network means to create relationship networks, in order to share experiences and ideas in the context of a communicative exchange, and an artistic experimentation in which the sender and the receiver, the artist and the public, act on the same plane. [...]

This book wants to shed light on a series of activities that starting from the 1980s, in and outside of Italy, has transformed the conception of art as object into art as a network of relationships, possibilities of personally and collectively intervening in the creation of an artistic product. The formation of art as networking laid down its theoretical and practical bases a long time ago.
