The last decade has seen an incredible growth in the production and
distribution of images and other cultural artefacts. The internet
is the place where all these cultural products are stored,
classified, voted, collected and trashed. What is the impact of
this process on art making and on the artist? Which kind of
dialogue is going on between amateur practices and codified
languages? How does art respond to the society of information? This
is a book about endless archives, image collections, bees
plundering from flower to flower and hunters crawling through the
online wilderness. Alterazioni Video, Kari Altmann, Cory Arcangel,
Gazira Babeli, Kevin Bewersdorf, Luca Bolognesi, Natalie Bookchin,
Petra Cortright, Aleksandra Domanovic, Harm van den Dorpel,
Constant Dullaart, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Elisa Giardina Papa, Travis
Hallenbeck, Jodi, Oliver Laric, Olia Lialina & Dragan
Espenshied, Guthrie Lonergan, Eva and Franco Mattes, Seth Price,
Jon Rafman, Claudia Rossini, Evan Roth, Travess Smalley, Ryan
Trecartin.

Post Internet is a blog developed between December 2009 and
September 2010 by the New York based art critic Gene McHugh, thanks
to a grant of the Creative Capital | Andy Warhol Foundation Arts
Writers Grant Program. For almost a year, Gene McHugh kept filling
this folder with his personal notes. Writing and posting became a
daily, regular activity, that sometimes produced many posts a day,
sometimes long (or very long) texts posted at a slower pace.
However, Post Internet is not just a piece of beautiful criticism,
as reading this book proves. It's also, in itself, a piece of Post
Internet art in the shape of an art criticism blog. GENE MCHUGH is
an art writer and curator based in Brooklyn. His writing has
appeared in Artforum and Rhizome, and he was the recipient of the
Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant for his
blog, Post Internet: http://122909a.com/. McHugh is currently the
Kress Fellow in Interpretive Technology at the Whitney Museum of
American Art.
