11/18

I read a lot of non fiction so Networked Art is right up my alley. I liked reading about the creation of Zines and the different monikers the creators of arts works would use to differentiate themselves. Unlike Lukas, I think these monikers can be important. Using these an artist can create a whole new persona and also hide behind the anonymity of said moniker. It is also interesting to see how artists traded and showed their works pre internet and the hard work that obviously went into distributing said works. I also love the whole DIY aesthetic that these zines help foster.
