Thomas Dreher's “Lessons in NetArt” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2007, category Media.Art.Research Award.
The website IASLonline Lektionen / Lessons in NetArt shows how the functions of the Internet have changed in contemporary media art: from hypertext to current media combinations (Internet, WiFi, mobile phone, GPS, digital camera), from “webness” to hybrid.
