SETH PRICE DISPERSIO UPDATE

Rozendaal’s personal website is a great portfolio of all his browser pieces, but we decided to include it on our list for the way it presents new content, namely fantastic original haikus. However, his work owes to the pioneers from that era such as Olia Lialina, JODI, Eva & Franco Mattes, Vuk Cosic, who all used the browser as their medium. Rafaël Rozendaal is perhaps slightly too young to count as an example of 1990s net art. Rafaël Rozendaal ( ) The website of Rafaël Rozendaal (accessed April 2020). Both active photographers, their choice of showing only one picture at a time suggests attention to a sparser but deeper experience of the artwork online. Similar examples of minimalist gestures in artist personal websites are those of Torbjørn Rødland and Marie Angeletti. What happens in this web environment might actually be far from the physical work of the artist. Instead of showing lots of content about his installations and films, Beloufa’s site aims at creating a specific atmosphere through a few shots. We chose Neil Beloufa’s website for its minimalism, which builds on scarcity of images and information. Neil Beloufa ( ) The website of Neil Beloufa (accessed April 2020).

On the other hand, we wish to update this list in the future, adding what for us is worth being here and removing what no longer exists. On the one hand, we included a significant screenshot from the websites in question along with a link to them, hopefully keeping this selection readable even when those websites are gone. We took some measures against volatility. For this reason, they might disappear just as fast. Websites and all things online can be changed in the blink of an eye by their makers. What we propose today might not exist tomorrow. To us, the world of art on the internet seems like an archeological site changing at incredible speed. In other words, we looked for those personal websites that function as autonomous artworks or provide new content rather than being a mere catalogue.Ī final disclaimer before the list. We also considered a few artists whose medium of choice is far from being digital, yet their internet fluency has surprised us. Internet art from the 1990s is somewhat represented, and so is the post-internet generation of just a few years ago. We nonetheless kept the history books in the back of our heads. Great art historical efforts have been made elsewhere ( here, here, and here for example), and they deal with the topic more extensively that we wish to do with our selection. We are conscious that the relationship between contemporary art and the internet is a long one. Mind you that we don’t want to be scientific in any way.

Online exhibitions, web radio shows, VR galleries: artworlders spend a lot more time with their browser these days. Call it a blessing or a curse, the recent enthusiasm for all things online due to lack of alternatives (read coronavirus situation) has spread from the largest to the smallest contemporary art initiative. Here is our (temporary) selection of 10 great personal websites of contemporary artists, chosen among both internet litterates and not.Ĭontemporary art and the internet have been revamping their relationship lately.
