[microsound] Net-Art vs electronic music

[Niklas Werner <bergtroll@xxxxxx>]

Hi *,

What would you guys think, is the lowest common aesthetic denominator 
net-art and electronic music have?

Let me clarify the terms.

net-art: those flash-thingies floating around the net as well as 
web-pages, but also obfuscated code contests and the like, basically 
every piece of "art" that definitely needs the Net as basic aesthetic 
concept

electronic music: "serious music" (don't you hate that term?) from 
Stockhausen onwards until now, including explicitly (experimental) 
techno, and club-sounds as found on eg the transmediale, But excluding 
New Age.

What makes net-art what it is in the first place?

Why is there so much so-called net-art that might exist as an inherently 
not-interactive video-tape as well?

What would you wish for in a hypothetical instrument for 
collaborative/interactive music/art on the Net?

Cheers

Niklas
