Jon Ippolito, professor of new media, was quoted in a article about the legacy of internet art for the NFT space. Ippolito said that net art was a new generation鈥檚 collective needling at accomplishments in fine art and technology. 鈥淎rtists are good at pulling back the veneer to reveal reality, and the reality of the Internet in the 鈥90s was that websites often didn鈥檛 work. This was not just due to faulty code, but also because the infrastructure was still rickety. Sometimes you would just type in a [correct] URL and the browser couldn鈥檛 find it. So artists made lemonade from lemons by exploiting these glitches to create original and surprising experiences,鈥 Ippolito said.
