Artist Talk: From net art to software art
0 likes591 views
Winnie Soon gave an artist talk on her work transitioning from net art to software art. She discussed early net art pieces from the 1990s that served as inspirations for her work. Her own artworks from 2010 to 2014 critically explore and reflect on the internet, software, and networks through code-based artworks and assemblages. She views software as both a medium and subject for artistic reflection and critical examination of its cultural and political impact.
