VUK COSIC - No Land's Man

This fine artist - a cosmopolitan with balkanic roots - is well known for his challenging, ground-breaking work as a pioneer in the field of net.art. Cosic's constantly evolving oeuvre is characterized by an interesting mix of philosophical, political and conceptual network-related issues on the one hand, and an innovating feeling for contemporary urban and underground aesthetics on the other.

Last year he thoroughly astonished the art world by stealing the Documenta X website - next time he is said to be, most likely, a part of the show, considering the quick and extremely interesting evolution of his artistic career. Purchasing one of his works right now will undoubtedly prove an excellent investment within very few years.

The work entitled Metablink (www.vuk.org/metablink/metablon.htm) is -unjustly- one of the less well known works in the artist's career. Unjustly, because 'Metablink' is not only a milestone of the so-called abstract receptionist period in Cosic's oeuvre, but also a landmark in the evolution of the celebrated net.art group: 'Metablink' has had an obvious influence on later works by (among others) jodi, ValÈry Grancher and Jeff Koons. Besides this, the work has exquisite aesthetic qualities in itself - through its well-balanced and tonifying color palette and its surprising and well-succeeded experimental modification of the html language, it provides an utmost viewing pleasure, a source of extraordinary interaction, shortly: a gem in your private or corporate digital collection.
