To me the internet is the most useful resource available today. It makes so many different references easily accessible. That is just looking at it in a design students perspective. Before using the internet so much for research, the internet for me was a main source of communication. Along with being a resource it is a huge social network for everyone. Now it so is easily accessible; from computers, to phones, to ipods. The internet is all around us and, when used properly, is making this world a more efficient and productive place.
How do you think artists use the internet?
The internet is avery important resource for artists today. Not only as a means of research, but to promote their work and stay informed of other artists/competition. It also is an efficient way to stay in touch with clients and do things in a timely manner. When using the internet to promote work, not only does an artists get exposure but they also get feedback from people all over the world with just a few clicks of a button. Again, when used properly, the internet is an amazing tool that has revolutionized the whole art industry.
Jaxun
This site is a virtual studio if the new media artist Jaxun. Jaxun has a lot of unconventional pieces with a psychedelic feel to them, Tge featured exhibits are part of the artistic cyber collective known as Art on the Net. It is 'digital fine art' that has been online since October 1994. Although the work in interesting, it doesn't come across as "fine art" to me. The website was also a bit misleading as to what kind of work would be presented. However, I liked this site because it was eay to use and I was able to easily look at all the artists work.
Linda Lanese
This site is the studio of Linda Lanese. She works in acrylic paints and medium gels, computer graphic design, sculpture, photography and image manipulation. The areas of her studio that interested me the most were the photography and the graphic arts sections. They have a very contemporary style to them and seem like something that I would make. The website is easy to use and very clearly displays her work. The only critisism that I have about this site is that a new window opens up every time you click on a link and there is not always a button to go back to the main menu. Other than that, it is a suiteable online studio to promote her work.
Pancho Tolchinsky
This is an amazing site. It is definitely my favorite one that I found. I found it through CommArts.com. It is a very well developed, professional site that is easy to use. Pancho is a professional photographer. Pancho collects photos from all over the world. He is a traveler and tries to capture new moments from each place that he goes. On his site, when you are searching through his photos, everything is labeled based on the collection. It is very organized and enjoyable to use.
