Internet as Public Space
Source: New Media Art
pg. 18: “For many New Media artists, the Internet is not only a medium but also an arena in which to intervene artistically—an accessible public space similar to an urban sidewalk or square where people converse, do business or just wander around. Part of the appeal of this space is that it is outside the museum-gallery complex, and thus gives artists access to a broad, non-art audience.”
