and net culture, Baumgärtel is acutely aware of this danger.</span></span><br>
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,

pogiant examples of the fragile nature of net artefacts as
well as attempts to archive and maintain this legacy,
including information on his own attempts to preserve early
networked art. In addition, except some observations and
insights into recent pandemie-compatible internet exhibitions,
