Abstract:
Works that involve Internet technology have been problematic for museums to show, to the point of exclusion. ArtStream, a Web-based, curated exhibition space for Internet art, seeks to promote the work of Internet artists while bringing it into the “legitimized” world of traditional museum culture. ArtStream is the product of a collaboration between the University of Arizona Museum of art and the Treistman Center for New Media, in the University of Arizona College of Fine arts. The project was funded by a New Learning Environments grant from the university.
