Hackers, in MY art?

I'm not exactly sure about the reason for this article, but admittedly, it gives an interesting insight into what inspired and evolved Net Art. It mostly felt like an introduction and exhibition of who the seeming "founders" of the movement were. I will say that at first, I didn't even realize Net Art was started in the manner it was, but seeing the progression from Paik to JODI was telling in the sense that this modern style of work was started in a physical manifestation, through the use of television and video. While I found the article a little dull, the content matter itself is something to be pondered on... evolution in art starts in such strange ways, I suppose.
