Net Art Died but is Doing Well: Annotations

The production of art conceived for the Internet experienced a period of decline in the 2010s. However, with the need for social isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic starting in 2020, artists turned their attention to the Internet as a medium of creation, transcending the diffusion of other types of art works. Production is strengthened, with a substantial number of creations conceived during the critical period of the Pandemic. But, as life goes back to normal, is Internet art production destined for a new downfall? In light of this, artists Fabio FON and Soraya Braz launched a call for artists entitled Net art died but is doing well, with the purpose of understanding the current status of that production. An online exhibition is held in the context of the sixth edition of The Wrong Biennale, one of the largest digital art events in the world, which started in November 2023.
