Using AusEAASI and Protoweb to Restore Hybrid Internet/CD-ROM Artwork Metabody by Stelarc : Long Paper - iPRES 2025 - Wellington, New Zealand / Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa
Abstract
Emulation-as-a-Service Infrastructure (EAASI) is becoming a recognized tool for reanimating complex digital objects such as CD-ROM artworks. However, some CD-ROM artworks depend on now-obsolete websites as part of their dynamic interactions. We have been using Protoweb, a community driven project that restores early Internet services, to restore websites and revive the work’s Internet connectivity. This paper details the restoration of such a hybrid work by the Australian artist Stelarc and Merlin Integrated Media entitled “Metabody”.Details
