becouse is something completly different than most or Web (art), and
it's art…

Webbed Feats at:

http://www.webbedfeats.org

because it is an attempt to use the web as a medium for artistic
exchange and collaboration

because it is trying to link a real space to a cyber space (through art
making)…

because Rob Roth's design of the site is worth looking at….

because it is the first attempt at creating site-specific performance
(involving dance, theater, poetry, music) art (on this scale)
originating on line…

I would also suggest you look at the Brain Opera site (at MIT) which
shares some of the same characteristics but for a different type of
performance (music)…..
