I found this article super interesting, I think it is really cool that Net.Art was formed because of a glitch in December of 1995. Net. Art was a community for art enthusiasts to collectively come together and share their passion for art. Few people associated with the art world were logged on at the time. This part of the article stood out to me the most " Web page and several mailing lists the phone numbers of thirty-six phone booths in and around London’s Kings Cross train station, inviting people to ring those phones at any time on a given day. The calls created a musical intervention that disrupted the daily routine of an urban transportation hub, as commuters circulating through the station chatted with strangers from around the world who were ringing up to say hello." This is such a cool and unique idea to bring people together. at this time there was a growing fear that the internet would evolve into a mainstream media platform. I found this article super informative and engaging.
