Net.art has been a platform for artists to display their art online dating back to the 1990s. When internet art initially started becoming popular, it was the fact that it was not mainstream that attracted the fans. Artists feared the doom of net.art would come from widespread commercial websites taking over the focus of the internet. Some internet artists simply displayed the information that was typically seen as information to be kept behind the scenes. Net.art was not just an aesthetically important movement. Through net.art, artists were able to address social issues such as feminism. In many instances, female artists were using net.art to demonstrate their knowledge and skill of computer coding. Many of these female artists were proving they were outsmarting some of the most well versed in computer programming. Some responded to this internet activism as proclaiming that it was not the correct platform for the issues. However, artists continued utilizing their websites and content to create a conversation surrounding important social problems. While the world is more and more consumer focused everyday, net.artists must decide where their place is in society. European and other international artists had trouble entering the net.art realm without being capitalized by Americans. Similarly, the continued growth in popularity for net.art has given artists the opportunity and challenge to remain sovereign and independent thinkers. I believe that with the widespread access to the internet and free WiFi, internet artists have a special opportunity to get attention for their works.
