Tilman-RFC #1: net art history 1993 - 1996


Hi!

Here's the outcome of my effort to experiment with collective history
writing:  a time line for the catalogue of the "net_condition" show at the
ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany. 

One month ago I mailed out a proposal to inform me about early net art
projects. It resulted in the following list of projects and art works that
happened between 1993 and 1996. Some of them were suggested to me by email,
other came from my own - not very good - memory. After 1996, the whole
field became too big to continue to collect things in such a fashion. I was
surprised how many early projects were there, some of them I had never
heard about, and how many of them are still online. 

It is in German, but it should still be understandable. I listed the works
with 

month of their creation, 

artist, 

title, 

URL 

and sponsor, festival where it was first shown or the institution by which
it was commissioned etc. 

For every year there's a seperate section that lists important conferences,
shows, events, the creation of art servers, context systems etc. 

Any further suggestions, hints are welcome, even though my deadline is
approaching fast. If you want to add something, please do so in the format
described above. It is not a completely open process, and I will filter out
things, that I find irrelevant, but actually so far I included most of the
works that were suggested to me, because there were some really surprising
things that I didn't know about. 

This whole methology obviously leaves open a lot of questions, but I think
it is interesting to put history together in such a fashion. Call it
Open-Source-History, if you will, with me as the maintainer. ;-)

I still have some errands running, but hope to finish this whole, quite
labor-intensive project next week. So speak out now, or be silent forever. 

Yours, 
Tilman Baumgaertel
