The Aesthetics of Net dot Art

Abstract
The development of net art originates from the rising of net media generally. During the past two decades, Net art has overthrown the standards of traditional aesthetics, just like the conclusion given by Walter Benjamin that: “Technology and techniques restructure the human sensory apparatus (Esther, 2000, p. 42).” Even though we can admire the unique aesthetics of net art as they appear in some postmodern art movements, Net Art is in such a multi-polar form that one cannot easily find a single point from which to admire it. Based on the research of literature reviews and case studies in net art, this article tries to discuss the characteristics of net art, and classify net art into eight catalogs (Email Art, Non-linear Narrative, Online Performance, Information Art, Game art, Collaborative creation, Internet Community, Physical Interaction) in order to emerge the aesthesis of net art from the general aspect of contemporary arts.
