In 1968 the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London held an exhibition called Cybernetic Serendipity，Britains first show exploring connections between art and new technology.

It was hugely popular and inhindsight,well timed.

Itcoincided withtwo crucial developments in the relationship between art and technology:the pop-art movement,whichwasdemolishingboundaries between high art and everyday life，and ARPANET， the computer-to-computer network which would become the internet.

The internet has continued toerodeestablished notions of whatqualifiesas art,and who canclaim to bean artist.

New categories flourish: net.art，new media art， the New Aesthetic， internet art, post-internet art.

Online-only sales and exhibitions are increasingly common, as is art existing solely in digital form，bought and sold through websites such as Electric Objects(on a mission to put digital art on a wall in every home).
