The projects featured on the Dia Web site range in artistic disciplines and feature collaborations with artists within the fields of dance, music, photography, painting, and collage while also presenting works exploring the limits of technical and philosophical sophistication. The selection of projects fostered and hosted by the Dia Web site inscribes itself within the center&rsquo;s tradition and mission of \u00ab\u00a0initiating, supporting, presenting and preserving projects in nearly every artistic medium, and creating a primary locus for interdisciplinary art and criticism.\u00a0\u00bb(See\u00a0Dia history section\u00a0on Web site) Since its inception initially as a foundation (1974) by Philippa de Menil and Heiner Friedrich to its present status as an arts center (since 1986), the Dia has demarcated itself from other New York art establishments through its patronage of cutting edge, ambitious and unconventional projects. Such groundbreaking works as\u00a0Walter de Maria&rsquo;s \u00ab\u00a0Lightning Field\u00a0\u00bb (1977) and \u00ab\u00a0The New York Earth Room\u00a0\u00bb (1977), initiated and supported by the Dia, helped shape the center&rsquo;s reputation for funding works conceptually and physically extending beyond museum-format exhibitions. With a history of commissioning controversial works involving \u00ab\u00a0risky\u00a0\u00bb or museologically difficult to conserve exhibits, it seems only fitting that in 1995 the Dia would launch a series of commissioned net.art works. The 13 projects so far completed present a number of artistic tendencies and concerns prevalent on the Web over the last five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"895\" height=\"176\" src=\"https:\/\/archee.uqam.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Capture-decran-le-2023-03-03-a-11.07.12.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archee.uqam.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Capture-decran-le-2023-03-03-a-11.07.12.png 895w, https:\/\/archee.uqam.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Capture-decran-le-2023-03-03-a-11.07.12-300x59.png 300w, https:\/\/archee.uqam.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Capture-decran-le-2023-03-03-a-11.07.12-768x151.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 895px) 100vw, 895px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Purviewing the\u00a0Dia Center for the Arts&rsquo; series\u00a0of commissioned net.art projects (dating from 1995 to present) offers a unique opportunity to survey a meta-history of net.art.
