Hello Jim and Jaka and all,

I would like to say that to think about the preservation of our digital
culture is really very important. The tribute to Ana Maria is just
beggining, I am sure that step by step we will find solutions to the files
that are missing. However the most important is to imagine what will happen
with this files in 2024, for example, it will be possible to see them, will
we have softwares able to open it?

The Project Attic, by Reiner Strasser and me just try to call  attention for
this possible problem. However I think that perhaps  ELO  is just looking
for solutions about this. Perhaps Marjorie C. Luesebrink can say anything to
us. Is she in this list?

I would like to add that  in the Attic we have a work by Ana Maria Uribe. It
was build just for the Attic and there she shows all her capacity of
sophisticated synthesis which is so peculiar in her work. We will meet
there, for example, an incredible animated zipper made only of   the letters
V   and   I .

If you wan to see the work in popup windows, without menubars, browser at:

http://arteonline.arq.br/museu/attic/introattic.htm

In this page you will find this text of Reiner :

"In the corner of a room is sitting my old computer with all the stuff I
have created on it. Is it a real art object? Wouldn't it be the right
instrument to play the art created on it, the right way to present and
preserve it? --- Now it is virtually placed and visible in the Attic, a
spaceless gallery of the Museum of the essential and beyond that."

(Reiner Strasser)

It is really very important to think about this.
