The Web as Generative Art Masters of New Media Lecture Series Author: Andrew Garton
With the Internet fast becoming ubiquitous
in the developed world artists are finding new ways to not only
express themselves, but to communicate with each other across
geographically remote, and often politically volatile regions
of the World to collaborate with like-minds. "OMA - Ausländer
und Staatenlose - a W3 Opera" is an overview of creative
processes evolving through computer networks, the interactions
and simulated communities that spawn from them and more significantly,
the art that is the process of remote interaction itself. More
specifically, OMA is about generative art, whereby computers,
within a networked environment such as the World Wide Web, are
used as enhancer, as generator of new media content in concert
with communities of collaborating artists.
