The Impulse of the Geocities Archive: One Terabyte Of Kilobyte Age.

Daniel Rourke visits the Photographers' Gallery in central London and 
reviews their latest exhibit One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age by artists 
Olia Lialina and Dragan Espenschied, on THE WALL. Over an eight week 
period (18 April - 17 June 2013) they feature a non-stop stream of video 
captures of what they term as the lost city and its archival ruins. A 
documentation of a past visual culture of the web and the creativity of 
its users with new pages changing every 5 minutes. The project provides 
a glimpse into web publishing when users were in charge of design and 
narration in contrast to the automated templates of Facebook, YouTube 
and Flickr.
