THE COMPLETE ARTINTACT KOMPLETT

the complete artintact komplett 1994-1999

Artist's Interactive CD-ROMagazine on DVD-ROM

From 1994 to 1999, the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie in Karlsruhe presented pioneering works of interactive media art in the book-with-CD-ROM package entitled artintact. Now representing a unique collection of art treasures of a very special kind, the magazine counts among the few examples of an original project devised specifically for the CD-ROM medium.
Digital art is still inseparably linked with the question of whether and how it can survive the rapid advancements permanently affecting by its basic technical material. What will become of works developed on computer systems for which manuals or replacement parts are no longer available, whose software is no longer readable, or for whose carrier media-drives are no longer to be found? In order to guarantee the continued viewing and enjoyment of the "virtual museum" built up by artintact, a complete edition of the magazine is now being presented on DVD-ROM. Alongside all 15 works of art, the package includes all the German and English texts printed in the books that accompanied each issue, as well updated biographies and listings of the works of the participating artists.
