Net  art  and  So1ware  Art  

 So1ware  art  as  a  term  appeared  around  the  late  90-­‐s  and  got  its  start  from  net  art  discourse.  One  of  the  first  wriQen  men#oning  of  the  term  'so1ware  art'  can  be  found  in  Introduc)on  to  net.art  (1994-­‐1999)  by  Alexei  Shulgin  and  Natalie  Bookchin  [Shulgin  and  Bookchin  1999]"    

                         -­‐  Goriunova,  2007,  p.74

So1ware  art?    

 So1ware  art  "describes  an  ar#s#c  ac#vity  which  in  the  medium—or  rather:  the  material—of  so1ware  allows  for  a  cri#cal  reflec#on  of  so1ware  (and  its  cultural  impact)."                              -­‐Arns,  2004

•  Thinking  about  the  network  process  -­‐  assemblages    

Hello  Zombies  /  2014  hQp://www.siusoon.com/home/?p=1273    

So1ware  maQers  

So1ware  is  “the  displaying  of  a  presenta#on,  which  could  be  manipulated  in  a  number  of  different  ways  by  the  processing  so1ware  before  being  displayed  back  to  the  user”                                  -­‐  Berry,  2011:16  

Connected…  

    "At  all  levels  of  the  network,  so1ware  and  

code  may  be  connected  to  each  other  in  quite  counter-­‐intui#ve  ways....rather  code  is  added  to  other  code  as  a  connec#on.  ...code  lies  on  a  plane  of  immanent  connec#ons  and  consequently...large  number  of  connec#ons.”                    -­‐  Berry,  2011:62
