WELCOME TO THE FUTURE!
In 2015, iMAL, Center for Digital Cultures and Technology, presents, in collaboration with PACKED, Centre of Expertise in Digital Heritage, a series of exhibitions, workshops and symposiums on cultural heritage in the digital age. Welcome to the Future! is the first event of our Cultural Heritage in the Digital Age program. This exhibition proposes a selection of artworks and cultural documents published on floppies and cd-roms mostly in the 90s. It presents early pioneering works featuring remarkable experimentations in hypertext and hypermedia narration, interface design and interactivity aesthetics. This historical reflection on 20 years of new media art also que tions the future of today’s born-digital content.
