The historiography of an event, phenomenon or a novel can be defined as the examination of different discourses and diverse modes of writing history.
Therefore, we must first, examine the design of the history and methodology.
Today, historiography is characterized by a rapid methodology that meets the need to identify the works in order to create artistic genealogies.
Many historians and art professionals have tried to write a history of ‘net art'. These professionals may be the primary net art historians and their role is to confirm the existence of digital art in the art world.
To help along the process of writing a historiography of net art, it is possible to analyze and record some general observations by referring to a few books.
There are a limited number of these books written in French as the majority is directed to the English speaking countries(and therefore written in English). Various types of productions (handwritten and digital) reflect the diversity of literature: they may be essays, anthologies, symposia, dissertations and theses, newspaper articles and so on.
The number of works of art on the net seems to be multiplying with the widespread use of the Internet. The spread of art works was at its peak during the four years between 1998 and 2002. This was also the time when the term "net art" was introduced in Europe to determine such arts like Internet art, network art, cyber art or web art.
The 1960s marked the beginning of writings that were focused on this subject. In 1964, Marshall McLuhan published "Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man”. This book had a good reception in the United States and Canada where it got a number of positive reviews. However, in France, it has been less successful and received mixed responses after its release.
