Netart is a kind of (electronic) art which uses the media internet as
playground to the artists (alternative) points of view. So don't expect to
find documentations on common art like "Picasso Scans Gallery" here ;-)
--- Netart vs. Art on the Net ---
The art market has discovered the net for the distribution of art. It uses
the net to promote art just like ordinary companies. Gallerists, museums
and other art brokers provide information about their artists, exhibitions
and events. For them, the net is nothing more than a big telephone book in
which they too want to (have to) be represented.

--- HOW TO FIND NETART ? ---
Since the artists' discover of using the web as creative playground, alot
of so called "net.art" was released. But how to find net.art
out of hundreds of links on common searchengines ? Searchengines can be
divided in robots and editorial ones. The editorial ones like "yahoo"
decide by human subjectivity what to show and what not to show, the robots
like "altavista" are contextless and list everything, but the one you
search on.
In 1998 www.verybusy.org was founded to solve the problem and to set up a
general interes portalsite for those people interessted in netart or
mediaart. The Aim of verybusy.org is to set up a general entrancepoint
(portal) for people who are interessted in netart projects on one hand and
to start the work of archiving like a virtual museum on the other hand.
Verybusy.org is ment as a "container" - a skeleton, which is being
fulfilled and enhanced by the decentral input of the users that are focused
on mediaart/netart. In opposite to other (media/net)Art or Cultureservers
and commercial Searchengines, verybusy.org - center for hardwired arts
takes a new way between refering to friends linklists and
technological/context-missing architectures of common searchengines. The
database content is not blown up by automatic searchrobots nor shrink by
the single objectivity of a editorial staff. The maxime of verybusy.org is
autonomity, as this ensure the maximum of objectivity on nowadays netart.
Beside the art database, the server underlines the autonomous usage by the
users in many ways, such as collaborative titlecovers, filesharing,
discussion board and even the error messages (404 File not found) can be
customized by the vistitors.
You are the user, you are the editor !
If you're involved to netart please use our database searchengine which is
listing 571 unique projects right now. If you want to ensure that your
projects got visited by a highly specialized audience (www.verybusy.org is
being communicated at special servers like zkm, walkerart, debug, mikro...)
please support the collaborative work of the netart scene by submitting
your project(s) at:
www.verybusy.org/add_remote.htm
Futhermore there's a little bonus for you,
if you want to include the verybusy.org media/net/art searchengine
directly to your website simply use the following code within your page:
-- copy & paste ------------------------------8>< - - - -- -----
<form action="http://www.verybusy.org/cgi-bin/search.pl" name="Formular"
target="_blank">

<input type="text" name="searchkeys" size="20">

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="go">
<input type="button" name="add" value="add project"
onClick="document.location.href = 'http://www.verybusy.org/add_remote.htm'">
</form>
-- copy & paste ------------------------------8>< - - - -- -----

webservers corporate identity.
