Internet Art Projects

The widespread use and popularity of the Internet has inspired a whole new genre of art that breaks cultural and social boundaries and allows artists to express and collaborate in a way unheard of in former ages. Internet art projects abound, using media like software, Internet coding, websites and pixels in place of paint, brush and canvas. Explore modern art with a super-new twist by browsing a few acclaimed art projects on the web.
  1. Create a Collection

    • The Art Project, powered by Google, allows you to view the most renowned art by the most talented, famous painters throughout history and create your own private art collection online. Google has partnered with some of the world's top art museums to allow you to discover and explore art in great detail with different viewpoints like Street View and Artwork View, as you navigate interactive, virtual environments to learn more about the museums and the artwork they display.

    All Things Web

    • Rhizome's ArtBase project showcases projects from modern artists around the world who use Internet-related media to create their works, including software, computer code, games, browsers, websites and moving images to create aesthetic art. Rhizome accepts submissions of Internet-related art and reviews them monthly. Explore 2,508 different visual, audio, essay and other projects, including the pivot exhibit -- consider the pixel -- a correlation between five artists to show the creative flexibility and artistry attained by simply using pixels.

    Modern Art

    • The Whitney Museum of American Art hosts a compilation of many different Internet art projects on its website. Make your mark on interactive projects like the Screening Circle, an online format using the tradition of the quilting circle as inspiration for a communal art project. Explore The Dumpster, an art project made with excerpts from millions of online blogs to detail the romantic life of American teenagers when they get "dumped." View posted projects and admire the creativity in works like Untitled landscape #5, a series of Internet art projects that follow sunrise and sunset over New York City each day.

    Haiku for You

    • Haiku for You is a collaborative Internet art project that uses submissions from readers in the context of a short story or explanation of a word or phrase to create an original haiku, then turns the haiku into a creative image. Haiku for You artists combine storytelling, illustration, poetry and design for a whole new work of art like "mine eyes deceive me," or "i'm a daydreamer."
