The Net-art movement, whose origins can be traced back to Conceptual art, Fluxus, and Performed art, is based upon new problematic relationships between Man and his machine. Whenever the artists discover new plastic arts tools that newly-created relationship evolves all the way to bringing Man into the machine. Interactivity, sensibility or corporality that are part of Net-art interfaces recreate an aesthetics in which Man and the machine face one another, each claiming respectively a notion of existence. Is the Cyberpunk myth knocking on our door?From JODI to Mouchette, a human and technological generation separates two different worlds, ideologies and conceptions of Man and the machine. If the interfaces generated by the Net-art deal with various problems and cultural stakes, from the point of view of form, they reveal, above all, the intellectual interaction between the artist and his medium, from conflict to sensibility.
