In the new show at Amsterdam's Media Art Institute, the internet as platform, medium or subject matter functions as a source of inspiration for artists and influences their artistic practice.

Online sources and inspiration

It is elements that are key to the internet nowadays that also form the background to The Greater Cloud: collectivity; the sharing and distribution of knowledge; openness of information; and circulation of digital material - as well as formal properties such as 3D programming elements. The works derive from internet-based materials or ideas or from processes connected to the internet.
