Net Art - Lecture summary 5

First of all I would like to say that this lecture was more practical and more of what stuff goes on over the net. Nelson has had an amazing way of explaining stuff to us. The wows of internet and the amazing effects of the most of the companies that actually involved in computers going online who invested huge without actually knowing it capabilities and how that lead to the crash of the Dot com industry itself.

The largest industries that have survived the Dot com bust were the Gambling industry and the Porn industry.

Other individual companies that made it huge were the music industries and EBay and Msn Yahoo or let’s say the advertising industry Google who uses search techniques. Journalism is also steadily inclining itself to the dot com sector.

We had a trip to Nelson’s website that reflected how we can use the web as a tool for Creative Art, the basic idea of an art gallery. If there was a physical art gallery the people that could visit it would be say an amazingly whooping 4000 at the most. But if you have the same online and did a little bit of advertising it would bring amazing thousands of visitors for each day. The best part is you could design 3 dimensional arts with just the use of computers you need not be skilled in drawing or painting at all. Nelson’s art work was amazing.

And again he reflected that earning through the internet is like earning over the street that you are used to for a log time and should be able to play gimmicks. Such as the million dollar homepage website that actually used a concept of selling pixels on his website for a million dollars and made it on the news and it did work.
Booms and wows can take place much effectively online was the main concept that I could get from the lecture and I also believe we learnt many secret techniques or doorways of only a internet freak would be able to explain to us.
