artport.whitney.org is the official gateway or web portal of Whitney Museum. This portal is about net and digital art, and also an online web space for commissioned net art projects. In the about page of Whitney Airport, they describe their different areas and services that they are offering to the artists and visitors. Everyone can have an idea bout the design and lunched information of Whitney artport from their about page.

The “About” page of Rhizome

Rhizome developed in 1996 as a platform for the global new media art community. It is a place for the new media art and discussion, exhibition, review, critic of it. Whitney and Rhizome are quite similar as both of the sites are about digital artwork and project. The only difference between these two is their services. Rhizome is much more advanced with their services than Artport.

Digital art could be a computer generated sculpture, painting, and drawing or could be a scanned photograph. An art or artwork that uses the internet as a primary medium is called Internet Art. The New media art is quite broad than Digital Art and Internet Art. New Media Art covers almost all kinds of art including Digital Art and Internet Art.

I Love Bees

I Love Bees (ILB) is considered one of the most popular alternate reality game served as a real-world experience computer game. To play ILB, players need to log on to the each week to find the latest clues and a list of the pay phones that will be called. When a player correctly answers a pay-phone question then the player will be treated to 30 seconds of new material. The most interesting thing of this game is that some players could have the possibility get one of the rare live calls in which the drama’s actors talk and then incorporate the conversation into the show itself.

Implementation

The idea of the “Implementation” is very interesting to me as it is a serial novel printed on sheets of stickers. I would say implementation is a New Media Art rather than a Digital or Internet Art. The installed art could be digital art or Internet art but with the combination of all these media it becomes a New Media Art to me.
