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.

Roots of Digital Media: Cybernetic Serendipity, Tendencies 4, and more

· Walter Jenner · in Art Programme Programme @ HfK Bremen
I just want to draw some attention to a course by Frieder Nake, with the title above, which is still looking for some participants. For those who never done a lecture with Frieder Nake, go for it, it is really a pleasure! It takes place on Tuesdays from 14-18:00 in room 3 09.100 at the HfK.
We will explore several aspects of early digital art - both aesthetically and technically - from the point of view of the media perspective. Two exhibitions, named in the title, are a case from which we can learn a lot. Another one are the two authors, Max Bense and Marshall McLuhan. There will be more. I promise excitement. An excursion to ZKM Karlsruhe will be part of the course: 14/15 May We will build groups of students working on specific topics over the semester. Their results will be entered into the compArt DaDA database on Digital Art.
