The Whitney Museum opens it�s 2002 Biennial show tomorrow. I�d like to see it, but I�m not sure if I�ll be in New York again before it�s down. Luckily the net art work is available from their website�even now, before the show launches. Also, I hear that the work is more integrated into the show than it was in 2000, where it was all shoved onto one computer. It looks like net art (notice that I didn�t say digital art) is finally getting recognition. I make that distinction between net and digital art because net art is specific and unique in it�s exploration of multi-user environments, networked aesthetics, and user contributed systems.
Below are some screenshots of what Mark Napier�s Riot did with the Moped Army website. Riot is an alternative web browser that re-contextualizes the content of the site you�re viewing by mixing it with previously viewed pages and its own rendering madness.
