About
By the late 2000s the internet was no longer a separate place artists visited but the setting of ordinary life. Post-Internet art describes work made on that assumption, whether it ends up online, in a room or both. Images travel from screen to object and back: photographs printed on aluminium or fabric, 3D renders, stock-photo gloss, webcam confessions and corporate branding. The artist Marisa Olson used the phrase in the late 2000s, and the critic Gene McHugh developed it soon after.
Jon Rafman's The Nine Eyes of Google Street View (begun 2008) collects strange moments caught by mapping cameras; Petra Cortright makes webcam videos and digital paintings; Ryan Trecartin's fast-cut videos mimic the voices of social media; Andrew Norman Wilson filmed contract workers at Google in Workers Leaving the Googleplex (2011); Amalia Ulman staged a fictional life on Instagram in Excellences & Perfections (2014). Many associated artists reject the label.
