Miltos Manetas is a Greek painter and multimedia artist. Manetas has created Internet Art as well as paintings of cables, computers, video games and Internet websites. His work has been collected by Charles Saatchi. He is also the founder of Neen, an Internet-based art movement.

In 1996, Manetas created a series of video game-related artworks, using Lara Croft and Mario as 'ready-made' characters for the Joint Ventures exhibition curated by Nicolas Bourriaud at the Basilico Gallery, New York. In SuperMario Sleeping, Mario sleeps under a tree, while in Flames, Lara Croft is constantly getting hurt. Both works were also exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, in the exhibition entitled Made in Italy.

Manetas’ work has been displayed in exhibitions throughout the world, including Centre Pompidou, Paris; Gagosian Gallery, New York; London's Hayward Gallery; I-20 gallery, New York. Manetas presented the Whitneybiennial.com, an online exhibition that challenged the 2002 Whitney Biennial show and in 2009, Manetas together with curator Jan Aman, created the first ever 'Internet Pavilion' for the Venice Biennale.

'I consider Miltos Manetas the first 'machinima-maker', not because he was the first one to make machinima - today being 'first' only matters if you're writing comments online, and especially if you are a troll - but because he was the first one to have his game-based videos recognised as a significant, groundbreaking artistic achievements by a critic who matters (Nicolas Bourriaud), in a NY gallery that matters, in the mid-Nineties, while the Ill Clan was creating the first Quake movies.'
