Reading Blog #2 Simon Sprenger

After reading the History of Net Art, I was thoroughly interested. I thought that at first it was really interesting how internet art was sort of created by accident. I think that Cosic finding the mangled email in his inbox and him interpreting it as art was very fascinating. I did enjoy learning about how internet art was created more than I did learning about the history of internet art. However, I thought that the history of internet art and some of the people's stories who paved the way was interesting as well. One thing I didn't like about the article was how it was formatted and that they included a crazy amount of links in the text. That's my own personal problem though and overall the article was super cool to look at and read. My favorite part of the article was the images on the sides and middle of the article. This made it much more fun to read and that way I was able to see what was being described in the text. I thought that the one about coming back from war was super cool to see what it looked like after reading about it. I do think that artists having a new medium and way to portray their art is inspiring. I also think that having a new way to portray art on the internet is what made the movement blow up so quickly. Everyone was so quick to pioneer the way which is amazing. I would definitely read this article again and recommend it to others.
