My research examines the impact of and the exchange between internet-based art works and contemporary museum practice over the past twenty-two years. The key question for my research is an examination of how, over the last two decades, museums have built unique approaches to working with internet-based artists and their work and comparing how this relationship is communicated with their publics.
