Marking the 25th birthday of the World Wide Web, writer Orit Gat chaired a panel discussion about the history of art and the Internet – from ‘Net Art’ to ‘Post-Internet Art’ – with writer and artist Tyler Coburn, curator and author of Post Internet, Gene McHugh, and Christiane Paul, Adjunct Curator of New Media Arts at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Much of contemporary art examines the terms of economic engagement with the growingly corporate structure of the web. Can changing attitudes toward the Internet explain the current explosion of conversations describing a shift from net art to post-internet?
