The Internet as an Art Medium

With the Internet providing ease of access to millions upon millions, all matter of information spreads across the developed world very quickly. This information includes anything ranging from news to entertainment. With such innovations as mobile devices and social media, people can stay very informed at any time of day. Information on the Internet itself has slowly become tailored to suit its own infrastructure. It contains within itself things that can only exist on the Internet, nowhere else. Many forms of abstraction are present within the Internet's art.
Many aspiring artists turn to the Internet to show off their talents. If something gets popular, it can be brought to others' eyes with little difficulty. Of course, a lot of the time the credit to the artist doesn't happen, something people still neglect, but the work is out there to be seen by many. The Internet is unique in providing a platform for quickly sharing all manner of artistry. In providing the largest display board, it gives each new artist almost equal means to showcase. As stated above, it also has support for its own unique art forms, from seemingly exclusive memes or GIFs to ones that may overlap with other forms, like Vines.
It is almost impossible for people to not hear of some major happening via the Internet now. Its speed of information spread is unrivaled. It places virtually no restrictions on what type of information can be communicated through it. It is the ultimate soapbox. A canvas painted by people from all walks of life, and observable by the same. It hosts its own uniqueness that cannot be found anywhere else, and grows because of it. The Internet itself could be considered art as a whole, too. It lives through the expression of the world.
