A small exercise in Digital Archaeology.
Un Dimanche aux Puces (1994)

Beginning of the 90’s, I was experimenting a lot with interactive multimedia using Macromind Director, video and my mac.
I programmed this small linear composition exploiting stamp size quicktime videos, trying to do a video montage without a video editor.
It shows my Sunday walks to the flea market in Brussels and to a nearby popular cafe (La Puce)
End of 2024 I was very upset that so many popular pubs have closed in Brussels (Daringman, Clef d’Or, la Brocante,…), so I decided to resurrect this 1994 project as a video, an homage to Martine the owner of La Puce and the now dead Daringman.
More explanations about the resurrection process in the text on Youtube.

Diese Woche widmen wir uns im #DigitalHistoryOFK gemeinsam mit Annabel Walz (Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung) dem komplexen Thema der Webarchivierung. Aus gedächtnisinstitutioneller Perspektive wird sie die Eigenschaften von #borndigital & #reborndigital Quellen, aber auch Best Practices für ihre Archivierung diskutieren, die auf #WebCrawling als Praktik & #WARC als Speicherformat setzen.

Mi, 29. Nov., 4-6 pm - via Zoom

While the video game industry and cultural heritage institutions agree that video games should be preserved for both entertainment and study, there is disagreement about whether the commercial market preempts the need for libraries, museums, and archives to expand their preservation activities. Join us as we discuss the report’s findings and the possibilities of using this research method and approach to advocate for both resourcing the preservation of, and shaping the law around, other types of at-risk digital and born-digital formats.

Re-upping this #DigiPres / #archives / #BornDigital question: Does anyone out there have step by step instructions they can share for safely transferring a donor's files from SharePoint/OneDrive?

Ok, time for an #archives and #BornDigital question: Does anyone out there have step by step instructions they can share for safely transferring a donor's files from SharePoint/OneDrive?

Nach der #DigHis23 geht es wieder mit dem #DigitalHistoryOFK weiter:

Diesmal widmen wir uns dem Thema Langzeitarchivierung von Social-Media-Daten. Claus-Michael Schlesinger (Scholarly Makerspace, UB der HU Berlin) und Britta Woldering (@DNB_Aktuelles) präsentieren am Beispiel von Tweets, wie wir genuin digitale Quellen für die Zukunft bewahren können.

Wann? Heute, 31. Mai, 4-6 pm - via Zoom

Abstract & Teilnahme: https://dhistory.hypotheses.org/5697

Parametric design is unlocking a world of endless possibilities in digital art. Artists born digital harness the power of algorithms and computational tools to create awe-inspiring, dynamic artworks.
Embracing technology, we redefine what it means to be an artist in the digital age.

Here's a thing maybe worth sharing on here: the public version of our #borndigital accessioning workflow that I've been working on for a while:

I'm always up to talk about digital archives, especially with other folks who are the first/only digital archivists at their institutions!
