Abstract
Through the application of Internet technology, contemporary artists, along with their collaborators and spectators, have the potential to create, build, engage, and exhibit new works of art and propel new concepts for the production and practice of art making. This chapter examines how new online community collaborations transform urban sites into spaces for new art and surveys the nature of community online art projects, as works orchestrated by artists employing the interconnected and participatory nature of the Internet.
