Net Art. Scritti sull’arte nell’era dell’informazione
Postmedia Books, Milano 2023. ISBN 978-8874903603. Italian. Publisher’s website
Questo libro è un’antologia di testi scritti nell’arco di più di vent’anni (2002-2023), e propone una cronaca in progress di una materia fluida e mutevole, soggetta a cicli continui di morte, obsolescenza e rinascita, seguendone gli sviluppi con l’onestà del tempo presente e le inevitabili distorsioni ottiche familiari a chi si occupa di argomenti troppo vicini – tanto più se condizionati da una narrazione ingombrante come quella che caratterizza le “nuove tecnologie”. I saggi qui raccolti parlano di net art e hacktivism, videogame e media hacking, metaversi e archeologia dei media, lavoro digitale e collezionismo, NFT e memi di internet, blockchain e post internet, strategie espositive e realtà virtuali, arte generativa e intelligenza artificiale, software culturale e altro ancora: una complessità che l’espressione “net art” riassume sia riconoscendo al movimento omonimo un ruolo di svolta nell’uso artistico delle tecnologie digitali, sia consentendo di allargare lo sguardo ai modi in cui internet ha plasmato e continua a plasmare la condizione di esistenza dell’arte – di tutta l’arte – nell’era dell’informazione.

Surfing with Satoshi. Art, Blockchain and NFTs
Postmedia Books, Milan 2022. 250 pp., isbn 9788874903436. Italian. Publisher’s website
At the beginning of 2021, the booming NFT (Non Fungible Token) market opened up in the art world the debate on the blockchain, the decentralized public ledger on which tokens coexist with cryptocurrencies, promising “verifiable digital scarcity.” In reality the blockchain, born out of the 2008 financial crisis and seen by many as the foundation of a new, more private and secure Web 3.0, has already changed the world economy and is reshaping the digital environment in which art is increasingly created, distributed and exchanged.
Written in the turmoil of a technological hype and a speculative bubble, this volume places the promises of the NFT market in a historical perspective that deepens and analyzes the developments of the technologies on which it is based, the role of certificates and contracts in contemporary art, and the evolution of the media art market over the last thirty years. Riding the wave of an ongoing debate, Surfing con Satoshi faces a series of still open questions, such as: what does art have to do with the blockchain? Does it make sense to talk about “Crypto Art”? What defines it, apart from the way it is traded? What is there in this world, besides speculation? How is it possible to attribute the character of uniqueness to an infinitely reproducible digital file? Will the promise of disintermediation of the blockchain destroy the world of art as we know it? How is the art world reacting? Are NFTs an opportunity for artists or a scam against artists? Who are the collectors willing to pay millions for a certificate of authenticity, and why do they do it? Why do the visual arts seem to have acquired such a central role in the cryptocurrency economy?
Surfing con Satoshi borrows its title from the “turbofilm” shot by Alterazioni Video in 2013. In this sort of bizarre mockumentary, the traces of Satoshi Nakamoto, the blockchain’s legendary inventor, are lost in a cave in Puerto Rico, where apparently he was planning “the next revolution” with the complicity of hackers and artists. Is that conspiracy coming true? What role does art play in the future of the blockchain?
AFK. Texts on Artists 2011 - 2016
Link Editions, December 2016. Black and white paperback, 180 pages, English, ISBN 9781326892920. Buy and free download
AFK - an acronym for “away of keyboard” widely used online - is an anthology of texts written for catalogues and exhibition brochures along the last five years, featuring twelve texts about eleven artists and an artist duo: Rosa Menkman, Jon Rafman, Gazira Babeli, Martin Kohout, Maurizio Cattelan, Enrico Boccioletti, Constant Dullaart, Jill Magid, Aram Bartholl, Emilie Brout & Maxime Marion, Evan Roth and Addie Wagenknecht. In different ways, these artists experienced the impact of digital means of production and dissemination, they experimented with them, they thought about them, and all this is reflected in their work. As Peter Sunde, the co-founder of the Pirate Bay, they think the internet is real, and they spend a lot of time in this real space of life, communication, love, hate, surveillance, sharing, and copying. Most of the works discussed here are made to be experienced in a brick and mortar space, away of keyboard; but reflect the current way of living, communicating, loving, hating, spying, sharing, copying, on and away of keyboard.
Beyond New Media Art

Beyond New Media Art is the revised, updated version of a book first published in Italian with the title Media, New Media, Postmedia (Postmedia Books, Milan 2010). Through the circulation of excerpts, reviews and interviews, the book produced some debate outside of Italy, which persuaded the author to release, three years later, this English translation.
Beyond New Media Art is an attempt to analyze the current positioning of so-called New Media Art in the wider field of contemporary arts, and to explore the historical, sociological and conceptual reasons for its marginal position and under-recognition in recent art history. On the other hand, this book is also an attempt to suggest new critical and curatorial strategies to turn this marginalization into a thing of the past, and to stress the topicality of art addressing the media and the issues of the information age.
From the book’s preface: “So what is New Media Art? What does this term really describe? And what has occasioned the schism between this term and the art scene it is supposed to describe? And lastly, what accounts for the limited presence in critical debate of an artistic practice that appears to have all the credentials for representing an era in which digital media are powerfully reshaping the political, economic, social and cultural organization of the world we live in?”

A collection of texts written by Domenico Quaranta between 2005 and 2010 for exhibition catalogues, printed magazines and online reviews: a pocket version of what the author would save from the universal flood, in a world without computers. It documents most of the fields of research he has focused on critically: from Net Art to Software Art and videogames, from biotechnologies to the debate around curating and the positioning of New Media Art in the contemporary landscape, and back to Net Art again.
This itinerary is traced through a selection of essays, monographic texts and interviews with artists and curators, in no particular order: from Eva and Franco Mattes to Casey Reas, from UBERMORGEN.COM to Oliver Laric, from Cory Arcangel to Tale of Tales, from Jon Ippolito to Gazira Babeli.

Media, New Media, Postmedia (2010) is an attempt to explain the current positioning of so-called new media art in the cultural field. In order to reach the goal, the book starts discussing the current definition of New Media Art, making its weakness clear and suggesting a new definition that makes it possible to reconsider New Media Art’s historical development on a new basis; it goes trough the history of New Media Art, showing how the practice developed into a new “art world” and how this art world turned recently into a limitation for many of the artists working in it; and attempts to set a new basis for a better positioning of the art formerly known as new media art in the contemporary art field.
