How web pages and virtual space changes the way art can be made and viewed.

Makes art interactive

Makes it accessible to everyone all at the same time. Areas of accessibility are – homes/schools/offices/etc.

By creating Net.Art (art using the internet/software as the media) artists are opening their work up to be downloaded and used/adapted by anyone and everyone. A Net.Artist needs to be open to the possibility of their work being used by others. The work is put out their for everyone to view and use if they want.

Art being created on the net on WebPages and ‘virtual spaces’ does open itself up to computer programmers and not just artists. As the internet started as a military resource in America a lot of the first net.artists were programmers using the net as a means of visual protest against the government.
