While Post-Internet is a term still awkwardly vague to many, it was first conceived by artist Marisa Olson, most widely encountered in a 2008 interview conducted through the website We Make Money not Art. Her definition acknowledges that internet art can no longer be distinguished as strictly computer/internet based, but rather, can be identified as any type of art that is in some way influenced by the internet and digital media.
“I think it’s important to address the impacts of the internet on culture at large, and this can be done well on networks but can and should also exist offline.”
「私は文化全体に対してのインターネットの影響力について言及することが大事だと考えている。そしてそれはネットワーク上で行えるが、同時にオフラインでも存在できるものでないといけない」
