CIAC'S ELECTRONIC MAGAZINE
The CIAC's Electronic Magazine is an online and bilingual (French and English) publication, devoted since 1997 to cyberculture, art and literature in all their connections with new technologies. 
It is not surprising that the creative process at the origin of many contemporary artworks takes place, in whole or in part, on the Net : interaction, collaboration, collage, remix... The Net constitutes for these modes of creation a natural habitat, in which the limits of space, time and matter are abolished. The works of netart, designed for, on and with the web, have gone one step further in taking the network itself as an object of their art. These works refer to the initial ideals of the Net, cooperation, free-trade, emphasis on the collective rather than the individual, but also underline the fact that navigation creates a visual trace which becomes an information, itself immediately transformed into a spectacle. The new issue of CIAC's Electronic Magazine looks at some of these works.
This issue is published for the Biennale de Montréal 2009.This issue of the Ciac's Electronic Magazine has been made possible in part through a grant from The Canada Council for the Arts and from le Conseil des arts de Montréal
