A panel featuring artists included in the net art section of the Whitney
Biennial

Participants in the panel will be the net artists whose work is
presented as part of the 2002 Whitney Biennial. Panelists will give a
short presentation of their respective work, followed by a moderated
discussion amongst the artists and with the audience. The discussion
will be moderated by Christiane Paul, Adjunct Curator of New Media Arts
at the Whitney Museum and responsible for the Biennial net art
selection.

The selection of Internet-based art for the 2002 Biennial strives to
give an impression of the variety of forms that net art can take and of
the multiple themes that have emerged over the years. Among these themes
are data visualization and mapping, database aesthetics, gaming
paradigms, agent technology, community as well as nomadic devices–all
of which surface in the art works included in the 2002 Biennial
selection and will be further explored in the panel discussion.

This event is a collaboration between the Whitney Museum and the "Netart
Initiative," of which the MFA Design and Technology Department of the
Parsons School of Design is a founding member.

Sponsored by the Center for New Design at the Parsons School of Design.

The Biennial 2002 Net-based art installation is sponsored by France
Telecom North America.
