The experience-based way of testing physical reality defines the choice
of material in Jan Robert Leegte's installations and Internet-based
work. Amongst others, he developes so called single-serving-sites, which
are defined as web sites comprised of a single page with a dedicated
domain name and do only one thing. In "Blue Monochrome .com" (2008), for
example, Leegte makes use of the tools of Google-Earth to transform
satellite images of the globe's water surface into ready-mades.
Geographic coordinates are linked to the coordinates of a website, the
real space is linked to the virtual; the title of the artwork represents
on a linguistic level, what can be seen on the screen image: a
granulated blue surface with minimal elevations, which can immediately
be associated with thick acrylic on canvas and finally with its
predecessors in art history. In the interview with <a href="http://CONT3XT.NET" target="_blank">CONT3XT.NET</a> the
artist explains how the Internet can be seen as a space and why he is
still fascinated by the "new medium".<br>
