neen

the day i met mouchette

I met mouchette at the last meet-in-a-nice-restaurant.org, an event organised by the neen artist nikola tosic (http://tosic.com). Neen is a new artistic movement launched in 2000 by the artist Miltos Manetas. (http://neen.org) On that day, I discussed with the neenstars, angelo plessas (http://angeloplessas.com), andreas angelidakis (http://angelidakis.com) and nikola tosic about neen and net.art. What are the differences in between, is it the same, is it part of a same movement or idea? I disagreed. I repeated what Vuk Cosic said once, relating the story of net.art that "it wasn't meant as an art movement in bthe beginning but more as a way to prevent people of what could become internet". Neen was created by Miltos Manetas as a new art movement: the art of now, websites are the art of nowadays. Neen is often done with flash, a proprietary software. Free softwares are more in the net.art side. Neen is a brand, is net.art one? I don't beleive. Neen was an attitude. Is net.art one? I just don't know. But on the same day, I met Mouchette! http://Isabelle-arvers.com
