Learning Cycle 01

For this unit, PG04, the aim is that the initial idea or project from the last unit can be developed with emerging conceptualisation and a research proposal. Therefore, we are going to create a concept of our major project and practical prototyping work in order to develop and test the models, which articulate notion and original approaches to the project.

In the first learning cycle, I researched and analysed a lot of net-art projects already in existence in order to understand a foundational notion of net-art and systematic approaching methods of the previous projects, and also collected diverse knowledge of the field such as technologies used, artists and the objective of the projects relationship with net-art and visualisation networks.



Traditional visualisation

Net-art movement
The term "net-art" is used as a synonym for net-art or Internet art and covers a much wider range of artistic practices. In this wider definition, net-art means art that uses the Internet as its medium and that cannot be experienced in any other way. Often net-art has the Internet as (part of) its subject matter but this is certainly not required.

The Net-Art movement can be represented by a large number of Digital Visualization projects which show the, invisible to the users, relations between data in the internet using APIs, Networks and Statistics.
