Curated by Melanie Swalwell & Helen Stuckey, this online exhibition presents ten CD-ROM artworks from the 1990s - an innovative period of creative experimentation in Australian media arts. Yet, the built-in obsolescence of CD-ROM media also contributed to the disappearance of these significant artworks from the histories of Australian art. This situation is changing: the ability to exhibit these ten artworks is the result of research in collaboration with Australian GLAM organisations using emulation to provide access to born digital artworks within their collections. This exhibition offer a taster of the opportunities for revisiting historic media arts being made possible with AusEaaSI (Australia's Emulation-As-A-Service Infrastructure) for the benefit of researchers, curators and the public.
Access to these artworks, emulated on AusEaaSI, an Emulation-as-a-Service Infrastructure, is optimised for within Australia. If you are accessing the emulations from an international location or on low bandwidth, some latency might be experienced.
