9/2/08 Question

In response to "Web Work: A History of Internet Art,"

Net.art over the last 12 years has had a rich past that seems to have not only expressed social concerns in regards to new media in the world around us, but have also reflected social developments in countries across the globe. These social expressions have given rise to new web technologies that have helped further the development of the internet itself. Is it possible that the next great revolution in net.art will be jump-started by the products of sites like youtube or myspace? What if the cache of these sites will one day be utilized as content (much like the "infamous" copying of the "Documenta X" website) for the sake of expression, detailing the lives of everyone and everything around us?
