Post-Internet

Post-Internet is a 21st century art movement involving works that are derived from the Internet or its effects on aesthetics, culture and society. Post-Internet is a loosely-defined term that was coined by artist/curator Marisa Olson in an attempt to describe her practice. It was further articulated in mid/late-2000s discussions about Internet art by Gene McHugh (author of a blog titled "Post-Internet"), Artie Vierkant (artist, and creator of Image Object sculpture series), and others. The movement itself grew out of Internet Art (or Net Art). According to the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, rather than referring "to a time “after” the internet", the term refers to "an internet state of mind".

Ian Wallace of Artspace considers the Post-Internet term to stand for "a new aesthetic era," moving "beyond making work dependent on the novelty of the Web to using its tools to tackle other subjects". He notes that the post-Internet generation "frequently uses digital strategies to create objects that exist in the real world." Or as Louis Doulas writes in Within Post-Internet, Part One (2011): "There is a difference then, in an art that chooses to exist outside of a browser window and an art that chooses to stay within it."
