@naughtaliestone: When network becomes the medium - making art with networks

Natalie Stone argues that art made with a network, rather than merely on or about it, is one of the most important artistic shifts of the time, because the network becomes the medium itself. She points to Larva Labs (Matt Hall and John Watkinson) and CryptoPunks, which were deployed on Ethereum in 2017 with 246 lines of Solidity code and whose marketplace, she writes, is executed on the smart contract. She also notes that Museum of Modern Art acquired nine CryptoPunks, and that the Infinite NODE Foundation is building a home for this practice.
