[from the site:] "At the turn of the millennium, the international art community has begun to recognize the significance of the Internet as a milieu for expression and critical inquiry of issues such as the globalization of capitalist culture... This essay attempts to view from a critical perspective the matrix of issues surrounding these questions of corporate influence and control of intellectual property. Subsequently, I will speculate upon the possible implications that will derive from the intersection between the aesthetic and the material in the age of the Internet."
