The present study of a theoretical nature aims mainly to question Internet Art, taking into account the hypotheses, strategies and characteristics of artistic expression in relation to the medium of performance. This work intends to demonstrate the correlation between art and technology, with emphasis on the Internet, as a medium and space for artistic creation through internet art or net art. Internet art results from a global and technological communication network, being presented as a means of artistic creation of virtual, interactive and illusory works. From this framework, the characteristics of this medium of communication are presented and analyzed, exemplified through various works of net art, the way in which artists appropriate these same characteristics in their work, highlighting the relationship between medium and artistic practice. Internet art is, in turn, presented through a study, whose characteristics are directed to typologies and themes in the context of the development of new possibilities for the work, for the artist and for the public. The relationship between the internet, as a means of technological communication, and internet art, as a contemporary artistic expression is understood through the analysis of production based on the characteristics that define the network. In this way, the aim is to highlight the importance of net art within contemporary art, promoting a new perspective.
