The Walker Art Center has established itself as a primary force in the museum community in furthering the medium of Net Art. Headed up by Steve Dietz, Director of New Media Initiatives at the Walker, Gallery 9 is a focal point for the numerous and ambitious digital arts projects originating from the Museum's Website. Beginning with Piotr Szyhalski's "Ding an sich: The Canon Series" in 1997, Dietz has since organized two major exhibition of Net Art, the first, Beyond Interface in conjunction with the 1998 Museums and the Web Conference, and the second, Shock of the View. The latter was a collaboration between the Walker and several other museums around the country, consisting of exhibited works that juxtaposed object-based work with virtualized art, contextualized with curatorial essays and a lively on-line discussion that eventually segued to a panel presentation at the 1999 Museums and the Web conference in New Orleans. Current works at Gallery 9 include Lisa Jevbratt's The Stillman Project, Janet Cohen, Keith Frank and John Ippolito's The Unreliable Archivest, among others.
