I don’t know much about the history of internet art, but supposedly it started popping up in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, probably before I was born and before my parents really knew what to do with the monitor that sat in “the piano room” which then became “the computer room” and is now again void of The Computer, since we all got laptops. Recently I was told we are actually in the postinternet era, a name I don’t understand completely, but according to Wikipedia means “art that is about the internet's effects on aesthetics, culture and society.”Whether it’s internet or postinternet, I’ve been really into art found online lately, and I recently stumbled upon this piece by the artist Joe Hamilton, called indirect.flights. To me, it’s a perfect piece of online art: it’s is made to be online and to be accessed on the go.
