Net Affects started because there was no good survey of autonomous 
work on the web (also called net.art). In its short history, the relatively 
new phenomenon net.art has gone through a tumultuous development. 
On the one hand this was caused by a small group of artists who put 
their heart and soul into this new medium, on the other hand it was 
caused by the rapid technological developments. The Internet started 
six years ago with simple interactive conceptual (text-based) and 
image experiments. These were only interactive because a click meant 
jumping to another page or another image. Now we encounter more 
complex pieces, which are often supported by sounds. They are made 
with advanced tools such as Flash, enabling the user to choose from 
many possibilities. Another development is that artists start to make 
use of the possibility of a live connection, thus showing their 
net-based performances live on the net. These are only but a few 
of the areas in which artists develop work for the web. 
A wide spectrum of works that use the specific possibilities 
of the web have emerged. The goal of Net Affects is aimed at 
giving a survey of all these different kinds of works. 
Therefore, I firstly made a selection of people from 
the Netherlands that make autonomous work for the web. 
Secondly, I selected a number of international net.art sites; 
they give a broad impression of what is going on and also show 
the specific position of Dutch net.art. Summarizing, it may be said that 
Net Affects can been seen as an effort to give a survey of the developments 
of autonomous work worldwide, with a specific interest 
in the situation in the Netherlands.
