Summary/Abstract: The Internet still debates over the value of its contents. Redefining traditional media within popular culture, it shatters the proper definition of mediation – based on socalled « legitimate” intermediaries. Web folklore is considered as perhaps one of the lowest forms of Internet culture ; yet, it is everywhere. Observed and remediated by Net Art as trivial culture, it nonetheless shows a crucial potential in interrogating new mediations on the Internet.
