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.

Will Wright makes toys that make worlds

Just another Ted-talk. This time by Will Wright. The New Statesman describes him in these words :
"Will Wright - a legend among gamers, the nerd’s nerd, undisputed king of the simulation."
He developed Sim City, The Sims and finally Spore. In this talk from 2007 he presented Spore as a preview. A trail version of the Spore Creature Creator could be downloaded for Mac and PC for free, just check the link.

    the original version of Sim City is quite funny because of the very poor graphics compared to the latest release of Sim City'*~
