Art of the Net
Internet Art of a Beastly Kind

Bottle o' Flies

Here is a work of art that exists in the meatworld. As the post in the link beow explains the work is a kind of fake. It’s not what it purports to be. 

I won’t spoil the fun. You’ll have to open the link to read the full story. 

As the post explains, the work was able to to be created only because of the Internet.

This issue of interest in the context of this web site - which after all is dedicated to Internet Art - is the question of whether Internet-enabled art is a relevant category.

Upon reflection, I think not. Nevertheless I will add this post - and use it as an example what is not really Internet art. And also because I like the work as it raises, in its wise-ass way, the ongoing Duchamps-provoked question: “What is art?”
