blOgGeR art

before anyone can attempt to discuss whether or not blogs can be considered as a valid new medium for artistic expression, i think a few words dealing with this idea should be defined.



By taking a second glance at 2a. it becomes apparent that the observation of the simplest elements of this world can be viewed with aesthetic value, so long as there is a purposeful hand involved in the organization of sound, color and form, form being the key word.

Perhaps we can officially agree at this time that written thought is a form of art. Another form of art that is allowing these ideas resonate within you, reader, is somewhat of a current movement, finding its origins within "new media."

Internet based art or more commonly known as net.art, is a form of regular art but with a twist. Net.art encompasses all previous mediums, allowing for the integration of new and old. The internet, if you will, can metaphorically represent a forth world. Slowly, but surely creating a network between the first, second and third worlds. Once exploring this virtual world, one will soon come to find a vast amount of information. Information in its entirety.

Truth. lies. manipulation. beauty. creation. destruction.

amongst these ideas are concrete manifestations displayed artistically before you, in respect to form, composition, style, content and context.

Virtually infinite, the lit window, in which you sit comfortably in front of, is an outlet for expression in almost every way - still photography, film and video, music, graphic design, and one of more significant value, web design.

When the internet was first introduced the average Joe didn't customize much of anything within it. The user, involved exclusively in this passive interaction soon grew to learn the treasures lying dormant.

This society is possibly bordering on a mental evolution. The evidence is subtle, but can be found. We are every bit expressionlistic as we are curious. Just only a few years fresh, MySpace, YouTube, and Blogger are spawning a new breed of internet junkies. Obsessed with individualism, remixed culture, or believably their own ego, these net.artists are shaping new media for the better and worse.

This is an age where any person, even with limited access can create inexpensive, yet priceless art.





These are just some examples of both formal and personal works.

These blogs of course i tend to consider as pieces of art. Maybe in respect to the customarily method of criticizing artwork it may not be judge as so, but never the less this is still a literary piece. And as so, all written documentation should be acknowledge for their differing artistic properties: font, color, spacing, grammar, and of course voice.

That voice you hear within you mind, thats my voice, my thoughts, my creation, my art and now this inviting silence will be yours
