Введение Planetary Atoll: Connecting Latin American Dots /Documentation Dot

For the duration of Planetary Atoll: Connecting Latin American Dots, the project space /rosa will become a documentation dot extending the exhibition in panke.gallery. The presentation focuses on the archiving, preservation, and documentation of net art in Latin America. It brings together three net art archives by NETescopio, Homeostasis Lab, netart latino database, as well as reconstructed works by Brian Mackern, Alcides Martinez Portillo, Gustavo Romano, and Mariela Yeregui, accompanied by Mari Nagem's work-in-progress installation. The documentation dot creates a network of people, places, and histories of the internet inviting the visitors to browse through the material and create new connections. 

Net art archives are not just structures for the preservation of artworks but also traces of internet history. Some archives remain relicts of the past time and some become living organisms generating new ideas and connections. During the roundtable talk with the artists Gustavo Romano (NETescopio) and Brian Mackern (netart latino database) we will discuss and challenge the different strategies of net art archiving and reconstructing as well as the storytelling they propose.
