		Quoting a definition by Steve Dietz, former curator in new media at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis: Internet art projects are art projects for which the Net is both a sufficient and necessary condition of viewing/expressing/participating.
		Internet art is also historically related to the interdisciplinary field of technology-centered or electronic art which has developed since the 1970s in research institutes and specialized art centers throughout Europe, Japan and the United States - outside the regular, "non-technological" museum and gallery circuit.
		Art in and around computer networks has a much older history though, which can be traced back to the early 1980s, and back to the late 1960s and the "Software" show at the Jewish Museum New York.

	Modern Art Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Modern art refers to the then new approach to art where it was no longer important to represent a subject realistically — the invention of photography had made this function of art obsolete.
		Modern art began as a Western movement, particularly in painting and printmaking, and then expanding to other visual arts, including sculpture and architecture in the mid-19th century.
		The influences were varied: from exposure to Eastern decorative arts, particularly Japanese printmaking, to the colouristic innovations of Turner and Delacroix, to a search for more depiction of common life, as found in the work of painters such as Millet.

	Barry Le Va's secret sculpture: the Walker Art Center's former director recalls a moment in that museum's history when ...
		In March 1969, Barry Le Va realized a haunting work in the original 1927 Walker Art Center building, which was about to be demolished in order to make room for the museum's next incarnation, a brick-sheathed modernist structure designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes.
		During one of my nostalgic wanderings through its now starkly empty spaces--the old Walker Art Center had been completely stripped of all its accoutrements, including its elegant brass railings and light fixtures--I came to a gallery, its floor covered with glittering glass shards, layers of red powder and shimmering pools of oil.
		Since whatever came forth would be the last work of art to appear in those galleries, the floors required no such protection.
