*Once upon a time... the internet*
"The internet does not forget" has become a commonplace - that could not
be more wrong.
In this talk, media critic Tilman Baumgärtel will alert the audience to
the imminent decay of much of the net culture that we take for granted
today.
As a result of his decade-long involvement with internet art and net
culture, Baumgärtel is acutely aware of this danger.
In the talk he will point out some pogiant examples of the fragile
nature of net artefacts as well as attempts to archive and maintain this
legacy, including information on his own attempts to preserve early
networked art. In addition, except some observations and insights into
recent pandemie-compatible internet exhibitions, the diverse practise of
net archiving, emulation, NFTs and internet memoirs...
