A history of Telematic Art : Australian Perspective
"Artist's use of communication networks between the mid 1970's to mid 80's represents a remarkable pioneering effort that acted as a precursor to the internet. This site is by no means intended to provide a comprehensive history of art telecommunications but overviews some of the major developments and Australia's role in this history."

Tape destruction. Extreme analog effects from damaged audio cassettes.
"Damaging and destroying your cassettes will greatly increase all of the wonderful characteristics that tape already offers such as: wow and flutter (a kind of garbling sound from speed changes from the stretched and wrinkled tape), distortion, dropouts (big time - and oh, so unpredictable) from the magnetized particles loosened, loss of frequency (variable - depending on the amount of damage) mostly in the high end, loss of volume (related to dropouts except that it lasts for much longer), a lovely 'crunch', and more freaky stuff! Because of the unpredictable and random nature of damaging a physical medium (tape) it's probably impossible to accurately "model" these effects using digital means (DSP)."

European Film Gateway
"Initiated by ACE (Association des Cinémathèques Européennes) and the EDL Foundation, the EFG project will develop a portal providing direct access to about 790,000 digital objects including films, photos, posters, drawings, sound material and text documents. Content will be provided mostly by film archives and cinémathèques, which are partners in the project. The collections to be made accessible have been selected to serve as a sample representing the actual digitised content held in the film institutions."

U D’Annunzijevoj državi zajedno su živjeli fašisti i homoseksualci
"Carta del Carnaro je, primjerice, predviđala ravnopravnost spolova, toleranciju religije i ateizma, temeljit sistem socijalne i zdravstvene zaštite, staračku skrb, te udruživanje građana u deset interesnih staleža - uz koje je u budućem parlamentu trebao biti zastupljen i jedanaesti, mistični, okupljen oko “nepoznatog genija”, za kojeg je na tadašnjem Danteovu trgu (danas Trg Republike Hrvatske) gorjela vječna vatra."

Antonio Salieri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"In the 1780s while Mozart lived and worked in Vienna, he and his father Leopold wrote in their letters that several "cabals" of Italians led by Salieri were actively putting roadblocks in the way of Mozart obtaining certain posts or of staging his operas. There is in fact little evidence of Salieri having engaged in any such conspiratorial acts."

Mihovil Pavlek Miškina: Zašto hrvatski seljak ne može biti komunist?
Hrvatski seljak ne će biti komunist, jer je to tuđa biljka, za koju niti je pripremljeno tlo, niti bi joj mogla prijati naše sunca. A ne može biti ni zato, jer se to bez nasilja i krvi, bez mnogo nasilja i mnogo krvi, ne da provesti. Seljak pak nije za nasilje, seljak je za mir, pravicu i čovječnost.
Seljak je za to, da se svi sporovi rješavaju mirnim načinom. Seljak je za to, da se narodna privreda troši na olakšanje narodnoga života, da sve ono, što je odkidalo od ustiju njemu i njegovoj djeci, utroši se u narodnu korist: da se time izsušuju bare, utvrdđuje obale, stvaraju novi domovi, naseljuju bezkućnici, uzdržavaju starci i nemoćnici, a ne da se nabavlja oružje, kako su to do sada radili svi vlastodršci, pa i marksisti.

Tim Anderson
Inspired by the ease with which he could build sugary solids, Anderson decided to perform an experiment in precision sculpting. He borrowed an old ink-jet printer that printed by shooting ink straight down, put some sugar on an index card, and put the card inside the printer. When the printer had finished spraying ink onto the pile of sugar, Anderson took the index card out of the printer and lifted up the newly-formed 3-dimensional letters. Just as he had suspected, the act of applying ink to sugar crystals transformed the crystals into precisely sculpted solid objects. Pleased with these results, Anderson and Bredt set out to build a machine to take advantage of this breakthrough in "3-D printing." The first machine included parts from an old ink-jet printer and an abandoned wafer-transfer machine.

The Wireworld computer
the first ever computer implemented as a cellular automaton that you might reasonably want to write a program for. The design was done by David Moore and Mark Owen, with the help of many others, between 1990 and 1992.

Dnevni list Danas | Terazije | Iskra koja je pokrenula žensku pobunu protiv agresivnog sveta

Taj skup u Beogradu bio je inicijalna varnica koja je zaiskrila u to vreme, u mirnom i srećnom periodu bivše nam domovine. Slobodno smo putovali po svetu, imali kontakte sa značajnim intelektualcima i intelektualkama iz Evrope i sa jugoslovenskog prostora. Ideje su cirkulisale. Žarana Papić je radila magistarsku tezu o feminizmu. Ona je idejno strukturirala taj skup. Na ličnom planu, desilo se nešto što mi je pružalo odgovore, ili preciznije artikulisalo pitanja koja sam sama sebi postavljala, a koja nisu do tada imala legalitet u javnom diskursu. Zvanična politika je proklamovala rodnu ravnopravnost, ali svaka od nas je živela realnu egzistenciju i znala da smo od stvarne ravnopravnosti daleko. I pored znatnih socijalnih prava, obuhvaćenosti ženske populacije obrazovanjem, jednakosti pred zakonom... patrijarhat je bio vrlo živ i kontaminirao ženske živote

Twitter: Invented in 1935
The user walks up on a small platform in front of the machine, writes a brief message on a continuous strip of paper and drops a coin in the slot. The inscription moves up behind a glass panel where it remains in public view for at least two hours so that the person for whom it is intended may have sufficient time to observe the note at the appointed place. The machine is similar in appearance to a candy-vending device.

Apple logo history | Logos Pedia
The logo design was very simple- an apple with a bite taken out of it, adorned with all the colours of the rainbow, albeit in the wrong order. The symbolism here was genius; the bite symbolized knowledge, as in the Garden of Eden, and was also a play on words, as in computer “byte”.
