Next weekend I off to New Mexico for Legacy Lab NM at the Albuquerque Museum. I will be on a panel on Saturday and leading a Workshop on Sunday, both about artist websites and how to preserve them. It's sold out, but they have a waiting list if you are interested in attending. www.legacylabnm.org

Substratum Foundation Launched
Source: Substratum. Sound artist and label head Yann Novak has launched an arts preservation effort. Donations are welcome. Substratum provides a permanent foundation for at-risk websites, ensuring their continued accessibility and preserving their presence on the web for future generations. We envision a web where digital culture never truly disappears – where website owners and organizations, big or small, can conclude their missions knowing their digital contributions remain accessible, creating a permanent foundation for our shared digital heritage.
