A History Of Internet Art

So, about this Rachel Greene. The article assigned to read this week- though really only just read moments ago due to a lack of internet the last day or so at home - was a general old history of the supposed internet art, or net.art as it's been coined due to a random glitch in an email. And while the article gave a very nice summation of the progressions of this medium, I still am not particularly grabbed by it's achievments. For every website or piece that is linked to, they all seem rather uninteresting. All of them from the nineties, they seem like crude experiments towards something that has yet to come into any sort of existance. Today, the internet houses a sprawling world of shared art, music, stories and and any such other things, all interconnected in a way that presents amazing things that would otherwise never be seen, to some random kid on his couch. But the examples of inherent art of the internet itself, seem more like amusing websites one's mom would send them in a chain email.
