Anarchy:
The 1990s and early 2000s, the internet's "Wild West" era, gave birth to
net.art: anti-institutional artists using websites for unruly experiments, stolen material, political provocation and irreverent humour. Anarchy carries that spirit across generations. Software is deliberately misused, familiar interfaces turn against their users, and the internet's stranger corners become artistic material. Some works confront authority directly; others simply refuse to behave.
