Quinn found a book about internet art published in 2004, and she's really excited about it. Today we're talking about what defined the early net.art movement, and artists like jodi.org and Olia Lialina who pushed the boundaries of what online art could be in 1995.

Studio Lunches was an autonomous podcast project by Chris MacInnes, supported by CCA. Its goal was to open up artists’ practices within Glasgow through conversation, exploring the diverse, obscure and intriguing interests that reside at the heart of this. A Crypt of Living Timbre (idiom) 1. A phrase used to describe something as having a confusing or contradictory nature, due to it’s state as living or non-living. 2. A presence of life or liveliness in something that otherwise appears dead. 3. A presence of death or decay in something that otherwise appears living. 4. A trope used to allude to or acknowledge the presence of something of a mysterious, obstructed or unclear nature. It is used either literally as the name of a location, in conversation, or by form of symbolism. This episode is a chat with Brandon Cramm around his video installation, A Crypt of Living Timbre. The work explores the ways in which desktop and user environments influence interaction and expression, creating uncanny spaces where the living and the apparently ‘dead’ become almost indistinguishable. Taking net artist Olia Lialina’s essay, Rich User Experience, UX and Desktopization of War as a starting point we weave our way through the scripting of our online lives. Discussing online Shogi tournaments, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, UX design and the uncanniness of the digital world, we try to understand the crypt of living timbre we inhabit as users and netizens.

To close out our 3 part series, we go back to 1999 and talk to the internet's greatest monster: the man who invented Microsoft's Clippy (jk he's a really nice guy named Kevan Atteberry). We hear from the folks of Open Diary, one of the first social media/blogging sites and talk to Olia Lialina, who has been preserving and archiving Geocities sites. Katie and Ryan force Julia to read some erotic Clippy fanfic, but we need not speak of that. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
July 23, 2014. Media artist and digital culturist Dragan Espenschied spoke at the 2014 Digital Preservation meeting. Speaker Biography: Dragan Espenschied is a media artist, digital culture researcher and 8-bit musician living in New York City. Starting out as a net activist in the late 1990s, he created several online interventions concerned with power structures and live network traffic analysis and manipulation together with Alvar Freude. Espenschied focuses on the historization of digital culture from the perspective of computer users rather than hackers, developers or inventors and together with net art pioneer Olia Lialina has created a significant body of work concerned with how to represent and write a culture-centric history of the networked age. Since 2011, he has been restoring and culturally analyzing 1TB of Geocities data, supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
