Last week, we had the the opportunity to interview a pioneer of net art, Olia Lialina. This week, a fellow trailblazer from that movement, Auriea Harvey, responded in the Right Click Save forum.

As a publication that seeks to put the language of artists first (instead of that of an “elite” class of tastemakers) the chance to read artists reflecting critically on the language they apply to their work, and why they now embrace language like “web artist” that they once rejected, cuts to the core of our mission. If it is tempting to de-emphasize the digital at a time when artists of all stripes involve a level of digital technology in their work, from digital photography to generative AI, Harvey reminds us that “‘digital’ is not just for those in the know but also for those trads outside” too.

This week, two more female leaders came to the fore, with Art Basel naming Karen Archey, head of curatorial at Düsseldorf’s K20 and K21 museums, as a new curator of Zero 10. She will curate Zero 10 at Art Basel Miami Beach (December 2-6, 2026) alongside Eli Scheinman, who has worked on every edition of the art fair’s initiative for art of the digital era since it launched in December 2025. In addition, Nicole Sales Giles, formerly Head of Digital Art at Christie’s New York, has joined Art Basel as Zero 10’s first Global Head, responsible for its year-round strategic direction.

Meanwhile, in the magazine, Ana Prendes sat down with the Hawai'i-born artist Libby Hoffenberg to talk through the visual languages that the artist uses to make sense of a hyperconnected world. While Pauline Foessel of 100 collectors discussed discovery, data, and the new infrastructure of digital art with Raster’s co-founder thefunnyguys.

If the legacy art world has been calcified by impenetrable artspeak, in the new art ecosystem artists are setting the terms of debate, helping a new generation of collectors to better understand their work.

Right Click Save’s Forum section is a discussion board for the digital art community. It has attracted posts and comments on a broad range of topics, not least on AI, its creative power and potential, as well as its perils.

With this week’s newsletter we focus on the artist Auriea Harvey’s response to our interview with Olia Lialina — and how the latter had spent a lot of her 30 years as a net artist “fighting over words and their meanings”. Read Harvey’s thoughtful exchanges on the subject with Joana Kawahara Lino here.

The Right Click Save Index is a knowledge bank drawn from across the magazine’s editorial coverage. It shows how people, artworks, events, organizations, and ideas connect in our archive of more than 450 articles.

Rather than a comprehensive biography or dictionary definition, each page surfaces the salient elements from our ecosystem. Readers can access the Index from the navigation bar of the website, through the Search window, and from in-article “cards” that link to Index entries, or direct to articles in the Magazine archive.

As we publish an interview this week with the collector thefunnyguys, co-founder of the digital art marketplace Raster, the Index takes us to a previous conversation between the collector and Jason Bailey, from March 2023, when thefunnyguys discussed the launch of the digital generative art institution Le Random, of which he was also co-founder.
