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.

Stuff that may be relevant for the Digital Media programme in Bremen.

the GNU manifesto

· Walter Jenner · in Technology

I just found the GNU manifesto in the internet (With the open-source browser Firefox, btw).

And now I am writing a blog entry about that manifesto with Wordpress, also published under the GPL (GNU General Public License). Open Source Software is everywhere, and it's still growing! Seems like this manifesto written in 1985 really changed the world a bit..
