By Rhizome. A unique and beautifully made book cataloguing net art from the beginning to today. It is now wildly expensive but you can explore Rhizome.org like a digital gallery of net/new digital media art. Big recommend checking out some of Olia Lialina’s early browser works (her website is such a good net art gallery in itself as well) and if you like blingee, you will like her archival work/research. I love “Summer” AKA the ”most fragile gif on the internet” I don’t want to spoil it so look at it on a desktop. New media digital art is such a cool corner of the art world that is not talked about as much in scholarly contexts. Reading about it in a book feels oxymoronic but works very well!

sUCH an incredible archive of cyberfeminist works from the early days of the internet until now. i’ve linked the website, but the book’s really cool too. really incredible design, both aesthetically & functionally. the way it internally references other sections of the book captures a Wikipedia-esque clicking-through-links quality of online research, which is really impressive in such a static medium. i want it so so desperately but for now i must simply admire it in bookshops
