Post Internet - Gene Mchugh - Bog

Post Internet was a blog developed between December 2009 and September 2010 by the New York based art critic Gene McHugh, thanks to a grant of the Creative Capital | Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant Program. For almost a year, Gene McHugh kept filling this folder with his personal notes. Writing and posting became a daily, regular activity, that sometimes produced many posts a day, sometimes longer texts posted at a slower pace.
However, Post Internet is not just a piece of beautiful criticism - it's also, in itself, a piece of Post Internet art in the shape of an art criticism blog - "criticism as performance" (Domenico Quaranta).
Post Internet went offline somewhere at the end of 2015. In 2019, Rhizome restored the blog and made it available online again through the Net Art Anthology. The 1st edition of this book was used in the restoration process, that Link Editions is celebrating with this 2nd edition.
Gene McHugh is a writer based in Los Angeles.
