Karaoke Ice. Digital Gallery. City/Observer. The ArtBase is Rhizome's archive of digital art, freely accessible to the public online.

The Rhizome ArtBase was founded in 1999 to preserve works of net art that were deemed to be "of potential historical significance. " Encompassing a vast range of projects from artists all over the world, the ArtBase provides a home for works that employ materials such as software, code, websites, moving images, games, and browsers. Until 2008, the ArtBase accepted open submissions for consideration, but currently works are added to the collection by curatorial invitation and through Rhizome's commissioning and exhibition programs.

Modern computers are unable to perform many of the artworks as they were originally experienced. This inability demonstrates a significant crisis in digital social memory that Rhizome is responding to with its Digital Preservation program, led by Dragan Espenschied. Democracy Island.

Radicalcartography. Scalable City. Scalable City creates an urban/suburban/rural environment via a data visualization pipeline. Each step in this pipeline builds upon the previous, amplifying exaggerations, artifacts and the patterns of algorithmic process. The results of this are experiences such as prints, video installations and interactive multi-user games and virtual environments.

Throughout these artworks, a variety of computer concept buzzwords take on physical form. Wallowing in them provides equal measures of delight and foreboding, creating a vision of cultured forms that we are rapidly creating. The project neither indicts nor embraces this future, but offers an extrapolation of its algorithmic tendencies, heightening one's awareness of the aesthetics of the underlying logic as it becomes the determinant of much of our cultured existence. Scalable City is a project by Sheldon Brown and the Experimental Game Lab. Médiathèque de l'architecture et du patrimoine - Archives p.
