MISSION
STATEMENT
Internet Archaeology seeks to explore, recover, archive and showcase the graphic artifacts found within earlier Internet Culture. Established in 2009, the chief purpose of Internet Archaeology is to preserve these artifacts and acknowledge their importance in understanding the beginnings and birth of an Internet Culture. We focus on graphic artifacts only, with the belief that images are most culturally revealing and immediate. Most of the files in our archive are in either JPG or GIF format and are categorized by either still or moving image, they are then arranged in various thematic subcategories. Currently, a major focus of Internet Archaeology is on the archiving and indexing of images found on Geocities websites, as their existence has been terminated by parent company Yahoo; who discontinued GeoCities operation on October 26, 2009. Internet Archaeology is an ongoing effort which puts preservation paramount. Unlike traditional archaeology, where physical artifacts are unearthed; Internet Archaeology's artifacts are digital, thus more temporal and transient. Yet we believe that these artifacts are no less important than say the cave paintings of Lascaux. They reveal the origins of a now ubiquitous Internet Culture; showing where we have been and how far we have come.
yay today I recieved the record. thank you very much and greetings from germany!
I just received my copy of the record and just can't stop listening to it. great stuff, thanks again for the idea and everyone who helped realizing this fantastic project!
this is so good
Oh, man. This turned out to be the most awesome impulse purchase since I bought that box full of Soviet calculators on eBay in the late nineties. Thank you very much!
Any update on the shipments? Have you started shipping the vinyls?
Any timeline yet?
Yeah, let's do it. Give me a call.
@nullsleep im away in LA till the 3rd!!! You free the 4th? See ya in the 11!!
@ryder meetup early next week for the OPL3 midi recording session?
Tracklist?
ill bring over floppy
@nullsleep dude that would totally rule! Are you free sometime Wednesday night?
Totally agree with Dragan.
Ryder, I have an old IBM laptop with OPL3 soundcard. Let me know if you want to put it to use for this.
BTW, if this works out you could also pump out the Intl. Facebook songs compilation.
@Dragan will look into this
Dudes, i will support this project, IF:
you will use the Microsoft General MIDI synth or an Adlib OPL3 Soundcard to record the MIDIs. If you use Quicktime it will not end up good.
Isn't "jams" spelled "jamz"?
So you guys contacted the original composers of these 90s jams, as well as the people who sequenced the MIDIs based on those tunes, to get full permission and licensing to profit off their art, labor, and intellectual property, right? (For that matter, I'm impressed you also managed to license the "Now That's What I Call" trademark from Virgin/EMI for use on a music compilation.)
