The book Net.Art Loarte Connection, published by the publishing house Shake has always been attentive to the emerging realities of the underground culture (and not only) Italian and international, traces the history of international net.art from the point of view of the inherent potential and structural that. offers net. Net.art, therefore, as 'art of connection' and a possibility to create living processes in the network and for the network. Net.art not simply as an artistic practice spread through the Internet, but as a network of projects that act on codes by combining experimentation, guerrilla-marketing, games, identity, plagiarism techniques, camouflage and performative practices. The authors of the book, Marco Deseriis (aka Snafu) and Giuseppe Marano (aka Subjesus), the founders of the Italian node of The Thing (www.thething.it) offer both readers who come for the first time allÕargomento, both at a public more experienced, a useful tool to navigate the sea more or less boundless practices of international net.art, giving useful tips to be able to investigate the issue online. The text, starting from the definition of net art, a term that often lends itself to considerable interpretations and misinterpretations (especially artistic nellÕambito), comes gradually to describe the forms of experimental use of the code, the hijacking digital, software art, cybersquatting, electronic civil disobedience and other forms of sabotage on the net that are mostly implemented in the second half of the nineties until today. The book closes with the chapter 'Political Connection', which takes readers through the maze of dense network of collaborations, links, exchanges and collective processes that constantly accompany the size of 'virtual' art making in the network and that result 'physically 'participation in and creation of events, festivals, international debate on net.art and net.culture and the creation of projects expanded in constant motion (such as mailing lists, blogs, research laboratories, art server). Cared less lÕaspetto historic Italian net.art, which would have deserved unÕanalisi more thorough, if not, a chapter in itself.
