Stallabrass states about net.art: “What is the market to make of a work that is reproducible with perfect accuracy, that can simultaneously exist on thousands of servers and millions of computers, …? How can one buy, sell, or  own such a portion of data?”.
I was a part of net.art and understanding art as an asset, still intrigues me these days. How to do a painting than, which is not meant to be sold and hang on the wall?
Art is about experience. I wonder, how will a curator, how will she experience a both-side painted paper, where images on both sides are in some relation. She daily receives offers from artists, but this thing is not an offer or a promotion or a request. How will she feel, while asking herself, who is sending this and why?

A Gift for a Curator

net.art was a very popular, global art movement in ‘90. Artists used Internet as a material, atelier, gallery and the content of their art at the same time.\n
In the time of net.art, connections were slow, screens were small, web pages were simple, but the discourse on the Internet was global, constructive and critical.
With the Internet boom, net.art became the most cutting edge art of its time. It was exhibited in virtually every contemporary art museum in the world.
Later on net.art was forgotten, mostly because it was so difficult to monetize. Most works were lost and there is very little documentation left about it.

Wild, Passionable and Conceptual

As we call our time the In/Form/ation age, we mainly mean zeroes and ones, jumping from one machine to another. But the word In/Form/ation suggests, that the content is hidden in the form. And wood is a great example of this: the annual rings are telling the story about the climate conditions, in which the tree grew. 
I take content from the mediascapes, like news, websites, reality shows, social media and others. I slice them into the basic pieces, than my computer controlled machine tattoo the wood with them. It sometimes uses a marker, other times a drill, to do it.
