Yes, the internet is real, I was more thinking of its value as a project, if the intention of the co-operative is an artistic one, I would be much less likely to recommend it to others than if, say, the people were librarians who wished to archive the material appropriately.
I like the oxymoron, in that of course if people who are unhistoric become recorded, they immediately enter into history...
does this matter in this day and age? having worked in a library for a time, i am aware of how precious librarians can be with 'their' intellectual material. surely the internet allows everything to be archived 'appropriately'?
Yeah, you're right there, but they don't purport to own it, as artists do when doing Net.2 art 'projects', which is what I'm wary of the hidden history co-op being. Hope not though.
Yes, but if they really are a co-operative, then surely all contributors should be allowed shares in the site?
