Net.Art to Net.Activism
Notes from a Lecture by Derek Holzer
This list includes links to all of the websites I discussed in my lecture at the Brasil Midia Tactica event, as well as to a few others giving some addtional information and context. My intention here, as in my talk, is to show a certain [insert here: incomplete, personally subjective, etc] trajectory which begins in the formalist beginnings of net.art in the mid 90's and continues through the socially engaged works of internet activism, hactivism, journalism and artwork of the past couple of years.
