The "Digital Art Endeavors and Other Artistic Experiences" World Wide Web site was developed to facilitate artistic collaboration, experimentation and expression on the Internet. It is currently home to three international collaborative Internet projects that I coordinated and various other artistic World Wide Web projects completed by undergraduates and graduate students in my computer graphics for the arts courses. It also contains a description of the curriculum of the Syracuse University Art Media Studies/Computer Graphics program as well as links to other interesting art sites on the World Wide Web. This Syracuse University Art Media Studies/Computer Graphics site is extremely dynamic and is constantly expanding and evolving.
The focus of the WWW site is to use the Internet as an artistic medium and explore the expressive possibilities of this new medium. Having coordinated the ftp-based International Internet ChainArt Project in 1993 (also documented on the WWW site), I realized the incredible creative potential of using the Internet and digital technology as not only a means of communication, but as a mutual space in which artists could work together to express collective ideas. The Internet provides a venue for collaboration free of cultural and geographic boundaries and allows artists the ability to visually communicate expressively.
