"Net Art" is a short news documentary that presents the emerging medium of Internet art to the general public.

The story shows a diverse array of artworks -- from interactive drawing programs to political pranksterism -- and illustrates some of the unique qualities of the medium.

The story also covers the 2000 Berkeley Net Art Symposium, showing how it's still difficult for scholars, curators, and artists to make sense of "Net art."
