Stories in Digital Media (SIDM) was a blog run by a few students and the professor Frieder Nake, part of the former Digital Media programme in the state of Bremen, Germany. By the end of the first decade of the millennium, the web and digital technology were advancing at an unprecedented pace in the social and artistic sphere. Developments were exciting, and we kept a log of some events and took time to reflect.

What you see here is a rendition of the content as it was back then, in a different, static archival representation. Enjoy this glimpse into a hopeful and exciting past.

a friend of mine created a cool sound installation, called "quite quiet". here is the explaining text: Quite quiet mouth opens, streams through the machine and let perceive yourself else
The mouth operates as sound generator apart the remaining voice apparatus. Eyes shut and mouth wide open. An alien sound spectrum is generated, self-perception might be questioned. The mouth serves as a graphical score to conduct any soundsamples by granulating and eventually chewing them.
