I am intrigued by Alan Sondheim’s response to our NetArtizens call with a reference to cultural heritage as a sequence of datapoints, i.e.:
0000000067141066147020145071157060440063556066145063040* 0000020071157072040062550062563061040064545063556020163* 0000040067543062555072040071150072557064147060440074556* Here are some questions to consider: Are we in fact producing a cultural history that emanates from the language of computers? Are the cultural references of today increasingly coded in numerical values that will need to be compiled and encoded in the far future by curious historians of the 21st century? What in fact are we leaving behind for future generations on our hard drives and cloud repositories? And how will the technological culture of today be viewed when these values are no longer decipherable. Are we in fact erasing our historical past as we create it for the digital future?
