Web Art and Post-Modern movement shared views:

- Preference in the use of playful, anarchic, eclectics and fragmented forms
- Use of digital ready-made
- Reinterpreting old artistic movements, (upgrading the collage concept and showing as Dada and Pop Art are interpreted in the Internet Era)
- Author and public often are mixed
- Process is more important then a final work

Common aspects in Web Art:

- non hierarchal media (the web)
- decentralized character
- global
- immateriality
- non linear narrative
- use of private live or quotidian aspects

Internet:

• Is the contemporary public space
• Chaotic, diverse and overcrowded
• Allow union of people with same ideals from different world’s places, permitting construction of virtual communities
• Computer (and the web) is at the same time an artistic tool and a communication media

WEB ART…

… all kind of art projected mainly to be produced at internet and distributed by World Wide Web
