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.

Wall Of Ice

I feel that people started to listen to Radiohead just because their usage of distribution is not only just innovative but because the whole thing, how they play with media became a social experiment. People wanted to be a part in this experiment. But Radiohead are not necessarily the ones, who are playing, or are they? A couple of days ago, shortly after Radiohead presented their song "Harry Patch", in dedication to the last british survivor of the first world war who has recently deceased, they announced that they probably would never release a full Album again. I remember hearing this even on the local radio station. Then, probably only one day later, a new song called "These Are My Twisted Words" surfaced, first seemingly over unofficial channels, then officially available on the waste.co.uk website. And with this release came up the rumour of, well, a new album called "Wall Of Ice"... Read the protocol here.
