Rhizome.org launched the Rhizome ArtBase, the first online preservation archive of Internet art, at <www.rhizome.org/artbase>. Internet art is the most significant new art medium since video, but it also the most vulnerable of art media; a systems administrator can delete art history with the click of a mouse. Already many early works of Internet art have disappeared. The Rhizome ArtBase addresses this urgent problem by preserving copies of Internet artworks in an online database.
