Digital Art Web Archive

Collected by: Cornell University Library

Archived since: Feb, 2014

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: Tantalum Memorial

URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LlN20Aj--0

Description: "Tantalum Memorial" is a series of telephony-based memorials by the artists group Harwood, Wright, Yokokoji, to the people who have died as a result of the "coltan wars" in the Congo. The installation is constructed out of electromagnetic Strowger switches -- the basis of the first automatic telephone exchange invented in 1888. The movements and sounds of the switches are triggered by the phone calls of London's Congolese community as they participate in "Telephone Trottoire" -- a concurrent project also built by the artists in collaboration with the Congolese radio program "Nostalgie Ya Mboka". - from website, 2014 May 02
