In 1996, NRPA extended its mandate to net art and launched its pioneering Turbulence web site. Turbulence commissions works that creatively explore the Internet as a site of production and transmission. This includes work by individual artists and collaboratives; emerging and established. Turbulence has commissioned over 190 works and hosted more than twenty multilocation streaming performance events. It also showcases new work via its Artists' Studios, Guest Curator and Spotlight sections. As networking technologies have developed wireless capabilities and become mobile, Turbulence has remained at the forefront of the field by commissioning, exhibiting, and archiving the new hybrid networked art forms that have emerged.
