The article was a pretty fascinating peek into what I didn't realize (though it totally makes sense) was such a rapidly evolving artistic revolution, and liberation, that feels like an overall much more positive and truly limitlessly creative wave of work made in the wake of new technology. It of course was impossible not to compare the article to what can be made of art involving the current AI revolution, but I have to admit that I don't know of many exciting works coming from it/embracing it and can certainly confirm that the limitlessness granted by the internet was far more rich and less weaponized than that of what AI has already become. Side note I'm open to AI art but have not been hearing about the cool stuff yet - but this article reminded me of how quickly art evolves on the internet - since its inception, the mass of great work that is lost in the process, and the power of artists to find inventive ways to intensely confront social problems. Curiosity led me to check out some of these works, and their meaning still feels relevant and timeless despite their archaic exteriors and web designs - an interesting combination that I think presents new net.art opportunities, highlighting the wasteland the internet feels like it has become. The wisdom believed to have been eternalized on the internet lies in washed up links to tackily clad, pixilated pages that feel old and spooky, but at the time looked ahead to a future unpromised - it's still an awesome perspective to derive art from and I'm happy it's been documented and preserved to some degree as we look forward at a much bigger beast in fartificial untelligence.
