8/28 :: A History of Internet Art ::

Art Forum, by Rachel Greene
{A History of Internet Art}

This article covered a wide range of Internet Art through its conception and developments toward the future. I found some of the websites to be fun in interacting with. I did however have one point of misunderstanding which could develop to actually be my question. Is it normal to not be able to interact with certain sites? Is the target audience meant to be more intelligent? For instance, Shulgin's website had some interesting views, but I found it a bit difficult to interact with. There were lots of fun things in the site, but some were just absolutely pointless to me.
Also, Jodi.org was a bit complicated as well. http://404.jodi.org
It is lines of text or code that I didn't fully understand.

Another Question perhaps focuses on the idea of internet art with Museums. With the advancements of having Rubrics of New Media art, Museums started presenting online works with critical views. Have Museums diminished in exhibitions? {or} How have they been effected? negatively or positively in this change?
