Conceptual Net Art

Conceptual Net Art is a Net Art category that derives from the Conceptual art of the 1960s and 1970´s and the Neo-conceptual art of the 1980 and 1990s. Conceptual Net Art applies to conventional conceptual art principles and it uses the internet as the only medium for implementation, execution and exhibition of the art works.
Conceptual Net Art as a term is for the first time used by Kosovar/Norwegian artist Bujar Bala and is listed on the Wilson E.A.T. list . His works titled "Series I - V" and the "net versions" of the traditional conceptual art pieces (like Yoko Ono´s "Touch" and Piero Manzoni`s Linea) are described as Conceptual Net Art pieces and he came up with the definition of the Conceptual Net Art .
The definition is "referential only" and it refers to two already established art movements , conventional conceptual art and internet art. According to Bala every conceptual art piece performed on internet is conceptual net art piece. Conceptual art and artists are opposing the art classification and the term is used to simplify and clarify art activities for the common user. Many other Internet art or net art pieces can be classified as a conceptual net art pieces. Works by jodi.org, net.art,, Carlos Katastrofsky, and other net artists.
