Collected by: Cornell University Library

Description:

Many artists and works represented online are indispensable to the history of digital media art; however, web sites are ephemeral and artworks posted on websites and its documentation frequently disappear. The insecurity of access to these materials presents serious obstacles to teaching courses on the history of digital media art. To facilitate future scholarship and classroom teaching, Cornell University Library is preserving and making accessible selected websites identified as important in understanding the history of digital media art. The items in this collection are intended for use in the teaching of Digital Media Art at Cornell University.

Title: Aspects of Gaia

URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXJ3QBy-gtc

Description: "The installation is a 2-level schematization of this telematic Gaia. One level is presented in tents, with computer graphic images contributed by networkers around the world, and which can be further manipulated by participants in the tents. Each tent provides a "Bird's-Eye" view from above, with different kinds of interaction. The second level is a tunnel, representing the inner earth. Participants propel themselves, on their backs, on a small rail-car, down a tunnel which presents thoughts, comments, and ideas about the earth on LED signs, which have been submitted by networkers from around the world. These signs can be ever-changing as networkers continue to input new ideas." --2/12/2015, from The Archive of Digital Art website, https://www.digitalartarchive.at/database/general/work/aspects-of-gaia.html

Title: Arabesque, John Whitney - Arabesque (1975) early computer graphics

URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7h0ppnUQhE

Description: "John Whitney is considered by many to be the "Father of Computer Graphics". He started in the 1940s building clockwork mechanisms with lights to draw directly on film. Later, he bought WW2 surplus analog ballistics computers and eventually started using digital computers. I believe this one was rendered using a vector display." -- from the website, 2/13/2015
