@Thorsted I'm not quite sure that's what this graphic is trying to tell us. Perhaps it rather suggests to not take floppy disks out of toasters, or avoid keeping them untoasted.
Unfortunately, if you uploaded your stuff to some "free" platform riddled with ads and scams, it is much more likely to exist many decades later than if you uploaded it to some nice for-pay platform.

Anybody got some of that precious DDR4 RAM?
@ryanc …finally somebody put this whole process into simple terms a layperson can understand!

Another summary that I think is interesting in hindsight: The practice that documentation of an artwork and an instantiation of an artwork are separate things, and documentation can never be the "real" thing, 1) is rooted in the museum logic of "artwork is taken out of storage for exhibition" that doesn't work well with most digital art and 2)—perhaps paradoxically—prevents useful historicization of digital art.

@LaineNooney@mastodon.social @The_BFOOL@digipres.club @kendraserra@dair-community.social @shadsy@digipres.club Well I personally think you should have traveled to a library that specializes on maps first

@edsu Yes, the Hans Haacke piece described in the article was talking to the web through @webrecorder's pywb recording proxy, which is just excellent.
Privacy problems due to "dragnet capture" is not so much an issue if you're mainly focusing on API calls, as they don't trigger all the requests that access via a browser or crawler would. Also, the artwork-specific web archives are not necessarily publicly accessible in the same way a classic web archive would.
Colleagues, is there a Linux image manipulation tool like imagemagick that doesn't require some weird XML configuration for large images and reliably reads TIFFs?
🥺 Colleagues, does anybody know how to create a disk image of an Apple Silicon computer (Mac Mini M4)? I believe it should still be possible to do it by connecting the right cables? Instructions I find online are outdated or suggest to make a disk image from within the running system.
