NETIZENS – cittadini della rete opens on 4th december at Sala 1, an art gallery located in the very centre of Rome. The exhibition investigates the influence of the Internet on contemporary artistic research through the work of five artists.
The pieces included in the show are all signed by web-born personalities but demonstrate very different approches, not always tied to the Net as a specific medium. World Wide Web can be a tool, a platform, a distribution and interaction channel, an inspiration source. The gallery space –one of the first in Europe to give space to the net art world- will host computers, projections, videogames, installations and oil paintings. The goal of this event is to show the aestethic possibilities of the Web also to the non-netizens (cyberspace citizens). Artists become our guides in the “city of bits”.
