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.

Digging in the Crates, an interactive installation

· Walter Jenner · in Culture
The topic is sampling, so how new music is generated with parts from old tracks. The interface are two turntables; one where a timeline of sampling can be browsed by rotation the vinyl; and the other one to explore tracks which contain samples. When playing the vinyl, the old song is played, and when it is rotated by hand, it works as an interface to select and play tracks which use sample from it. Here is a video, and the website. Installation made by Roland Loesslein.
