Rate this book
Have you seen art that claims to be contemporary, and then on further inspection is anything but? The universal failure of the art world to embrace the real-time aspects of the internet.
Everyone thought that digital and internet based art would be the answer to this problem but these movements failed to captivate a market that still desires traditional painting - with newer mediums failing to prove their uniqueness.
To better to reflect our modern times it is clear that an innovative bridge has to be created between internet based aesthetics and the traditional media that art collectors crave.

Preserved Present helps you deconstruct elements of the most significant art movement our times. A movement that represents the present-day evolution towards the "Internet-of-things".
It redefines what is expected in a developing art world that is only just starting to embrace the benefits that the internet is bringing to the market.





- Whether hoax or concept-based practice gone awry, it is collectors that invests in failed art movements who suffer the most.
- The understanding of sequence. Why sequence is critical to how art movements develop.
- Why Post Internet art is now in the "Trough of Disillusionment" stage.
- How art collectors can take advantage of these insights and to enter this space.


- Why you can't label an art movement as "significant" until you are fully educated.
- How integrating an analytical methodology into your plan will drive the growth of your collection fast.
- Why the new influencers of the art industry are bloggers whom understand the influence of the internet.
- Get new insights from artists such as Marisa Olsen and James Bridle, art critic Robin Peckham, and the discussion panel from Sydney Contemporary.


- Why fake news has made it more important to archive the present.
- How Pixelrealism redefined an art movement with a methodology that is based on the "Internet-of-things".
- Why appropriation has become the new standard of art making.
- The cycle of digital to Why digital art media will fail to last.

- Discover great artists and pieces which would never have become available through a traditional gallery.

And of course, as you can imagine, there's a lot more and it's all packed into the pages of Preserved Present in a systematic, structure manner that's easy to implement.

In an era of fake news, and the resulting post-Trump/post-Brexit world, Preserved Present is a symbol of its time when other art concepts fail to understand internet era aesthetics.
