The net.room simulates an office; with office-tables, office-chairs, office-desk furniture, all organised 'just like at the office'.This office-setting was 'specially created for the presentation of 9 artist's net.projects in Documenta X.
It's an unnecessary confusing symbolical construct, build without consultation of the artists.
Net.projects don't need such metaphors when presented in real-space exhibits, as tv-monitors don't need a home-decor around them for viewing video.
The office-cliché also sucks because it gives a false group-label to artists whom only thing in common is their use of the net, and categorises them, in opposition to the rest of the exhibit, by technique.
