Web Art

Web art first makes me think of web design. Web design could be one for mom web art, as it is a profession all on its own, but there is a lot more to web art. The internet in its brief history has rapidly become an outlet for creators and artists. Websites are being used to make interactive pieces, like Alia Ialina does with her web stories. People like Amelia Ulman use social media sites such as Instagram for performance art, as she did with her "Excellence" project. Social media is also becoming a platform for editing and sharing photography as well. in the exhibit Electronic Superhighway, it was interesting to see how the internet has affected how we make art and how art is consumed.
