In response to the official Danish cultural canon, the monthly newsletter Sunday Evening has gathered some people to make a canon of digital art works/culture. A colleague of mine Lisbeth Klastrup was invited to join, and I’m truly satisfied with her choice to include tagging in the canon. Overall the canon looks as it should most, of the usual choices are there. Actually I remember seeing a list in the mid nineties of the 10 best net art works and quite a lot of them are on the canon list as well – making me think that nothing happened I net art since or? – but there are two major works missing:

I cannot believe that Entropy8zuper not are on the list. Aureia Harvey is there – selected by Ida Engholm – but not to include her collaboration with Michael Zamyn is unbelievable, since the two of them as e8z have made the best net art ever in my opinion. The density and texture of their work, along with the play with interactivity – buzz word number one of the early net art scene – is awesome. The integration of their privat/public lives in the god love museum and their live performances plays along just fine with a lot of the themes in cyberculture.
