More than 15 years after the beginnings of net art, the Internet has
become the most ubiquitous participative global media of the 21st
century; a huge territory between normalisation, commerce, hope and
utopia. Is the Internet a disenchanted space for artists and creative
people or is there a future for online arts and critical creative
actions? If so, what are their possible forms and directions?<br> <br>
This is what WJ-Spots Brussels proposes to investigate by gathering an
international panel of some of the most influential net artists,
theorists, online activists and digital cultures thinkers who will share
their views on the past and future of artistic creation on the
Internet.<br> <br> The format of this event will be far away from a
usual conference : during the speeches, webjays using the WJ-Spots
platform will be surfing live through a list of representative websites
selected by the speaker. A multi-screen system is used to display those
pages around the audience. <br> <br></span></div><div id="id_4ecc87d50b3132729508425" class="text_exposed_root text_exposed"><span class="text_exposed_show">The proceedings of the WJ-Spots Brussels event will be published in
