Arts numériques Les arts numériques, ou net.art pour les initiés, constituent un domaine artistique encore sous-médiatisé, qui présente pourtant des oeuvres fascinantes. L'art numérique graphique s'est construit autour de trois notions-clés : la programmation, l'interaction, et le détournement. Le matériau produit par et sur Internet est évidemment un élément de premier choix pour les net artistes. En l'utilisant, ils questionnent la place des outils et ressources numériques dans nos sociétés, et des nouvelles formes de sociabilité qu'ils provoquent. Les net artistes reprennent donc le flambeau de leurs prédécesseurs, qui agissent comme des vigies et nous permettent de voir un réel bien présent, mais sans doute enfoui sous les représentations banales et les lieux-communs. Fort heureusement, les manifestations autour du net art se multiplient dans les capitales artistiques pour le faire connaître au grand pubic. Et il faut faire vite : la durée de vie des sites est parfois brève. 10 juin 2012 11 juin 2012
