June 14, 2001, 7.30 p.m., Vuk Cosic: Net Art
Vuk Cosic uses the Internet as an artistic medium. As an invited artist in the Slovenian Pavilion at this year’s Venice Biennale, Cosic is staging an exhibition in a space he calls the “Temporary Autonomous Pavilion”, thus presenting net art to an international audience. In Oldenburg, Cosic will be showing these “classic” and young net art works, thus creating a context for the sometimes controversial but always interesting net art.
