Today’s newspaper (in Swedish) tells about the hard times net art faces at the present. The problem is that none of the sites/organizations mentioned work with net art - digital or electronic art, yes, but netbased art, no.

It’s still physical space that counts and the net is nothing but a distribution channel of in-forma data.
