What today Van Gogh, Picasso, Duchamp or Brell means, in 20 years this guys will mean The advantage is always in the hands of those, who have visions about the future. In the time of the explosive expansion of the Internet the vision of the world as a “global village”, a communication society, is the most possible picture of the western civilisation in the next years. The most avant-garde artists, with their visions of future, were always those, who were not understood at their time, but adored by the next generations. At the time, the most avant-garde and promissing but too often overlooked form of contemporary art is so called “net.art” or “web-art”. It is a form of artists expression, using Web pages as an artistic tool. It is the seed of performing arts of the future communication society, where the theatre, fine arts, music, movie, sculpture and literature will be with help of multimedia and communication tools building a new form of art, that will occupy all your organs of sense. But there is something, none of “classical” arts offer you: the interactivity, the possibility to be an active part of the performance. It doesn’t matter anymore, where and at what time you are, the performance is there, waiting for you to enjoy it; while you sit home with your Virtual Reality helmet on your head. Following sites are the best organised guide to the net.art, including all what is happening at this moment. Enjoy the art-theatre-museum of the 21 st century! H O T !
