nice art aphid.. cool concept!
"concerned primarily with exploring and bluring the line between creator/artist and consumer/spectator through parcitipative net works"
is the internet more involving or a "cooler " medium than say something like television… I think not.. we're far more involved in television or even theatre than we are in net art.. because when we perceive it to be art and not drama, we tend to look at it critically. We don't involve ourselves because on one level it is less accessible .. less for the masses than for the select.. otherwise .. would it not become a spectacle for the masses
