description The advent of the digital era has meant a reconsideration of how best to communicate in the digital networked environment. Art, as one of the oldest forms of communication, is one area where this issue is particularly significant, especially at a time when we are seeing a migratory march towards the Internet as a medium for art exhibition. In this paper, four case studies will explore how artists can utilize the unique features of the Internet to communicate more effectively with their audience, and how this new medium has influenced the collective experiences of both artists and viewers. Accessibility, interactivity and hypertextuality are areas that will be highlighted. A general discussion will follow. This will provide the theoretical basis for the issues covered by the practical project as well as examine the issue of how the digital environment has transformed the way art is created and appreciated, with specific reference to the new art form - digital art.
