NEW ORLEANS—In today's issue of Newsday, Deidre Stein Greben rounds up the latest in net art, reminding readers that, for instance, John F. Simon Jr.'s 1997 net artwork Every Icon runs continually online.

But has net art been accepted by the art world? Indeed it has, Greben argues.

"Since its inception 10 years ago," Greben writes, "net art has grown from an avant-garde phenomenon, with a select and small international contingency, to an accepted institution regularly featured at such high-profile venues as the Venice Biennale and Documenta, as well as major galleries and museums, including the Guggenheim, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis."

John F. Simon Jr. was one of net art's pioneers, Stein Greben points out, and others include Mark Napier, John Klima, Golan Levin, Martin Wattenberk, Vuk Cosic and Brit Heath Buntin. She also writes of a younger generation that includes artists like Cory Arcangel, whose work Data Diaraies is described as follows: "The New York artist has tricked a Quicktime player into reading junk gathered daily on his desktop—old JPEGs, emails, Word documents—and transforming them into striking visual movie files."
