*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

As a result of his decade-long involvement with internet art and net

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...
