Conceptual Net Art

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I've left this alone for a while to see if it could be improved. However, there appears to be no real improvements forthcoming. This is a neologism that one artist uses to describe his work. All google hits point back to the artist or this article. Otherwise we have hits for "conceptual" and "net art" but not the whole term. Anything else in the article is original research, such as "according to Bala every conceptual art piece performed on internet is conceptual net art piece". It then goes on to state the "opposition" to the term and that it is meant to "simplify" things. Not sure what that actually means, but again it is original research in order to establish the term. Likewise, the attempt to include all internet art as part of this "movement" is reaching in the extreme. The sources are only pointing to this artist (the citation for Carlos Katastrofsky does not mention the term at all).  freshacconci  talk talk  14:55, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment: I had previously argued for the retention of this item, and appreciate Freshacconci's patience. Sadly, although the phenomenon that the article is describing certainly exists, and is discussed in many places, I think he is right that the term "Conceptual Net Art" to describe it hasn't caught on (or caught on yet), so I do not feel I can press for a keep.

 * comment I agree with daughter,  it is a pretentious term; we have internet art; Algorithmic art; Interactive art; Generative art; Electronic art; net art; conceptual art; neo-conceptual art; digital art; computer art; Software art; Systems art; new media art; Fractal art; Evolutionary art ad infinitum...Modernist (talk) 16:30, 27 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. NN neologism that appears to be setting up to support sales links at some future point.  CliffC (talk) 17:37, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
