Abstract
This thesis investigates connectivity as a generative and aesthetic object through arts-based research. It engages contemporary digital media perspectives while reviewing the impacts of technological advances on connectivity and Internet infrastructure. Along with comparisons of cyberculture and new media artworks, the article extends the discussion by introducing a series of personal works in each chapter. The models, developed from the author's artistic practice, emphasize how participatory and performative pieces create a new generative system with personal mobile devices and Web applications. Discourses prompted by these models respond to what happens on the Internet and use the Internet as the fundamental element to set forms and rules for crowd participation and systematic iteration. This project aims to raise awareness of "internetworked" systems by turning daily usages of technology into performative gestures and exploring how artistic expression enhances the way we coexist with digitality.
