The World’s First Collaborative Sentence, created by Douglas Davis for a survey exhibition of his work in 1994 and donated to the Whitney in 1995, is a “classic” of Internet art. Allowing users to contribute to a never-ending sentence, it anticipated today’s blog environments and ongoing posts.
In early 2012 the Whitney Museum undertook a preservation effort, making the Sentence functional for the first time since 2005.

We are currently working to conserve and integrate the digital artworks featured in Artport, which was first launched in 2002.
The gate pages were commissioned from 2001–2006 to provide entry points to Internet artists’ projects and websites. Each month, an artist was invited to present their work in the form of a gate page with links to the artist’s site and most important works.
