Sumario:[EN] To investigate net.art is to investigate obsolescence, so it could seem contradictory to discover in it a structure that would allow artists to design coherent positions on art and society. But after studying the creative processes in its artists and in my own work, I consider that is obsolete to continue generating artistic practices through the indefatigable repetition of a system of aesthetic production limited to creative originality. For this reason, I introduce this proposal since I consider necessary a revision of concepts labelled as obsolete or inaccurate in order to expand the possibilities to conceive contemporary art projects. This research presents two possibilities: copy and discard regarding technological obsolescence and also regarding net.art as an obsolete artistic figure. With these two approaches in mind, I propose other dynamics of aesthetic production by rearticulating obsolescence in a context that goes beyond Art and that is related to social and environmental problems in which hardware, software and obsolete networks could generate structures to rethink the qualities of a technological device that has ceased to be useful to pose it as a potential art object. I search for a net.art paradoxically coherent to its temporality, a net.art that thanks to its structure facilitates the partnership between thought and technology promoted by Juan Martín Prada making possible to discover how subjects and subjectivities are built today in the network or in the world of contemporary art.
