A History of Internet Art Review

In the reading A History of Internet Art, I read that net. art and hacking are similar. My definition of hacking when it comes to mind is: opening and taking an information that one may want on a device that has a lock on it. That device can be anything.

Now, is all net.art basically stolen material from another domain and just renamed and called ready-made art by the artist who post it?

: Cosic, who was vilified in the press as an "Eastern European hacker," once commented that the poached Documenta site was his readymade and proclaimed that net.artists are "Duchamp's ideal children."
