Comments on: Web Art, and the Internet as an Artistic Medium http://baddeacondesign.com/blog/2009/08/web-art-and-the-internet-as-an-artistic-medium/ Woodblock Prints, Printmaking, and Fine Art by Sean "Deacon" Neprud Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:16:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Dave Doolin http://baddeacondesign.com/blog/2009/08/web-art-and-the-internet-as-an-artistic-medium/comment-page-1/#comment-628 Dave Doolin Mon, 07 Sep 2009 22:05:48 +0000 http://baddeacondesign.com/?p=60#comment-628 I suspect that programming is going to be an integral component of web art, but that may reflect my bias as a programmer.

Most of what I am talking about is really just *computer* art, and not *necessarily* web art. The web is just the most common way for this stuff to be seen and interacted with. I'm not as proficient with Flash and Flex as I would like to someday be, I do know that web programming technology has really evolved from the good old days, and so much more is possible. That is one of the reasons that this intrigues me so much. Thanks for the kind words ;)

And for those of you who don't know, Sean is a bad ass artist, who's been nice enough to give me some of his wonderful art over the years. I've been continuing to think on this issue as well. I agree that there are certainly many, many beautiful works of art both reproduced and original on the web. But since these can be displayed in a variety of ways without using the web, they don't qualify as "web art" as it's being discussed here. I'd like to submit Flash and Flex for consideration as they may be the closest platforms we have currently. These systems can utilize both audio and visual elements, may involve programming, may or may not be linear, and may involve user interaction. Typically these files are embedded in an HTML page, and rendered in browsers. Technically though, they could be played on any computer with the proper software. So i guess I would say this counts as computer art, but not necessarily web art. But pretty close. That's my 2cents for the night. Aw thanks for the shout out.
