In many cases there might be an analogy to Video Art , which uses Video as its medium - but is also very much ''about'' video. Many net.artists view video as only a component in a Software Art or meta-artistic system, which is very much "about" Code . As such the Medium of internet art might be a number of Hypertext Markup codes. Founder of the Web Biennial Genco Gulan, differentiates net.art from Web Art: “net-art is simply 'networked art'. This network may mean Internet or wireless but must be an online, two way- send and receive- system. According to my own definition, net-art can not exist without a networked environment as a fish can not live without water. To test an internet art work whether is it real or not, just unplug it from the network. If it disappears, it was net art. If it does not die – and play from the cache- than it is Internet ''based'' art which we name as 'Web art'. FORMS Internet art can take concrete form in artistic websites, E-mail Projects , artistic Internet software, Internet-based or networked installations, online video, audio or radio works, networked performances and installations or performances offline. Internet art as a "movement" is part of New Media Art and Electronic Art . A few sub-genres of Internet art are Software Art , Generative Art , Net.radio , Browser Art , Web-specific Art , Spam Art , Click Environments and Code Poetry . In literature, the terms ''Internet art'', ''Internet-based art'', ''net art'', ''net.art'', ''Web art'' and "artists working with networks" are used together; not any of those names has predominated until now. Some feel the term , Jaromil , Superbad (Ben Benjamin), Etoy / the etoy. CORPORATION, Snarg , Mez , Zuper (Michael Samyn), I/O/D (Collective), G. H. Hovagimyan , Agricola De Cologne , Incident.net , Frederic Madre, Valéry Grancher , Fred Forest, Eryk Salvaggio, Miltos Manetas, Rafael Rozendal, Angelo Plessas, joel Fox, Annie Abrahams, Marc Garrett, Ruth Catlow (Furtherfield.org) and Antiorp to name but a few. Some culture producers on the Internet liken the term "net art" or Net.art to a pun, a recapitulation of the consumerist ideals of Pop Art . HISTORY AND CONTEXT Internet art is rooted in a variety of artistic traditions and movements. Some Internet art projects are particularly related to -based IRCAM , a research center for electronic music. The fact that both the computer and the internet have become a common, accessible technology has opened this formerly high tech art circuit up to a much broader field of artists. Internet art was most visible and witnessed its peak from Mania ; the Berkeley Art Museum Pacific Film Archive on 1999 ( Valéry Grancher , Ken Goldberg ) or La Maison Européenne de la Photographie MEP (2000) ( Valéry Grancher ). Otherwise some cultural producers linked this form to other contemporary art practises. However, art in and around computer networks has a much older history, which can be traced back to the early 1980s, and back to the late 1960s. Currently, there is a stronger tendency to look at Internet-related artworks in a wider context of technological art, while artists working with networks usually prefer to be contextualized within the general contemporary art discourse, bridging real and virtual space, such as E-toy , Valéry Grancher , G. H. Hovagimyan , Knowbotic Research , Igor Stromajer , Joseph Nechvatal , Philip Pocock and Agricola De Cologne . SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
