ABSTRACT
Many of the contemporary art forms that spring from the internet combine in various ways to take advantage of the new possibilities for mobility and connectivity opened up by interactive media and claim a novel collective status as digital performances. It would be tempting to argue that these alternative ways of making art – whether or not their producers call themselves artists – involve another radically new mode of participation: the participation of the audience in the works themselves, which are provisional, open, collaborative and constantly in need of being ‘made anew’.
