| | |
| ==Outline==
| |
| Throughout the years I collected about 75 gigabytes of experimental films, video art, electroacoustic music, scanned copies of computer-aided paintings, graphics, prints, and numerous publications covering media arts and culture in east-central Europe, which currently sit on my harddrive. I included content I thought is relevant for otherwise under-developed history of media culture in this region. Thinking about how to make the collection public and particularly about limits of online archiving, I started to treat it as a initial phase, a starting point for development of a framework for multimedia resource maintained by a peer network.
| |
| | |
| ==Objective==
| |
| The main objective of the project si to build a distributed framework for permanent public access to the archive.
| |
| | |
| ==Approach==
| |
| * Open source art history - provide source documents, so that multiple art histories may be produced
| |
| * P2P topology for non-tech audience
| |
| * Place-based history - ground the works and events to locative context
| |
| | |
| ==Relation to previous work==
| |
| The project emerged from my previous work on [http://burundi.sk/monoskop/ Monoskop], a collaborative wiki research on social history of media art and culture (since 2004), and [http://burundi.sk/monoskop/log Monoskop/log] (since February 2009), a living archive of writings on art, culture and media technology.

| ===Peer-to-peer archives===
| |
| * Private torrent trackers: [http://karagarga.net Karagarga], [http://surrealmoviez.info SurrealMoviez], [http://what.cd What.cd]. The three probably best sources for movies and music online are exclusive private communities maintaining strict user guidelines and being ruled by benevolent dictatorship of a few.
| |
| * Filesharing sites for ebooks: [http://aaaaarg.org Aaaaarg], [http://library.nu Library.nu]. Both are non-invite archives using centralised and third-party file storage.
