Color edition /// What is Net art? Does its name refer to the medium it uses? Is it the art of the Netizens, the inhabitants of the internet? Is it an art movement or an art form? This book aims to provide a starting point in the search for answers to these and similar questions concerning the existence of Net art.

For those who know little about it, this anthology can serve as an introduction; to the expert reader, it offers new and as yet unpublished information, and hopefully a new perspective.
