A leading figure in the world of networked culture explores the artists and events that defined the mass medium of our time

Since 1989, the year the World Wide Web was born, the art world has grappled with the rise of networked culture. This unprecedented survey of the artists and innovators in this area from 1989 to today is interwoven with the personal narrative of one of the leading voices on the digital world. In this book, Omar Kholeif, whose prolific career parallels the growth of the internet, tells the story of this mass medium and how it has fostered new possibilities for artists, both analog and digital.

The book showcases work spanning a range of media from legendary artists including Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Naim June Paik, Heather Philipson, and Wu Tang. Tracing the key artists and innovators from the emergence of browser-based art to the dawn of NFTs, this is a tale for the present and the future.

'A deep dive into the moments that have defined art within the digital age.' - HYPEBEAST 'Informative and fast-moving ... Kholeif's takes on how art can change (and be changed by) technology are shrewd. Art historians and those interested in contemporary art will find much to gain.' - Publishers Weekly
