Net Art Praxis: Making Internet-Based Visual Art using Open Source
summary
Defines net art as web-native work tied to the browser and shows concrete projects: a frame-by-frame animation served by sequential URLs, Flash-based video-sites, popup-heavy social-video pieces, and a WebGL scene of shiny 3D “trees” used as a soundcheck. Covers tools three.js playground, paper.js and canvas/SVG, mentions webcam via userMedia, and a downloadable 3D demo with textured cubes that fires rockets. Argues net art resists ownership (see paddles.on auction stipulation), source is usually open so view source and remix; three.js has a steep, unstable API.
