Artist don't have to look for any net artist identity or any new form of art: this kind of research is looking very modernist and has no meaning in net work context. Net art can also exist as an aesthetic work which is dealing with its context in the network and otherwise in politic, social, economic context. To find any meaning of net art, wre have to work to know the meaning of art in our time and how it is able to evolve and to have aesthetic legitimity in new context as networks or hypermedia... 2- I don't want to get any title as net artist of 1997, I'm not interested in any form of art competition which seems to classical for me: Artist in our time is not a genius and is not a part of any social elite. I'm not interested in this kind of the artist social position... 3- I'm thinking to offer to net art in the future nothing, but I want to offer a new context aesthetic perception to net community and people...
