✦ Tereza Havlíková @tereza_max@mastodon.social (art historian and curator, Zentrum für Netzkunst / Ruhr-Universität Bochum) and @sakrowski@post.lurk.org (curator, Zentrum für Netzkunst) spoke on Day 1 of the symposium, on Thursday, 26 March, about "Inserting Net Art" – how early internet artworks can be preserved without losing their context.
Call for participants: ROTBOTS Workshops
https://docs.google.com/document/d/13Z4uqAOk59tE_-7Vj--aAWm9s5kXNlSw0CkMKPxafm4/edit?usp=sharing
ROTBOTS is a project by distant.gallery, Zentrum für Netzkunst, and AdBK Nürnberg exploring automated content as artistic practice.
We invite artists, designers, and critical makers to join a workshop in Berlin on automated content production as an artistic and political tool.
ROTBOTS focusses on building semi-autonomous ‘content machines’: systems that generate and distribute artistic brainrot across social media. Rather than feeding existing extractive platforms, the project asks: can automated content become a form of resistance?
During the workshops, you will learn to modify, test, advance, hack, and reconfigure modular tools for generating and distributing content, from text and image generation to automated publishing. You will develop your own content machine based on your practice, while contributing to a shared pool of materials used across participants' systems.
The workshop:
Each workshop is a 1-day, on-site session at Zentrum für Netzkunst. You can also participate online through distant.gallery.
Dates:
13 May 2026 with @samlavigne@mastodon.social & @tegabrain@mastodon.social
5 June 2026 with Clusterduck
13 June 2026 with @iocose@tldr.nettime.org
2 July 2026 with @mediengruppe_bitnik@tldr.nettime.org
How to apply:
Send your portfolio and short introduction (max. 200 words) about your interest in the project to: rotbots@distant.gallery
Please include:
· your name
· a link to your work (website or portfolio)
· a short note on your technical experience:
- I regularly write code
- I can read/modify code with support
- I prefer working without code
· any dietary restrictions or special needs

Happy May Day!
ROTBOTS is a collaborative project by distant.gallery, Zentrum für Netzkunst and the Networked Materiality class at AdBK Nürnberg, supported by Stiftung Kunstfonds.

The exhibition 'stillllllife' presents works by Chiara Passa, a digital artist who has been working in the field since the late 1990s, and Mikuláš Mahr, a young artist who reflects on the role of computers in photography. In their works, the artists engage with the often-forgotten genre of still life, a tradition shaped and transformed over time.

EastUnBloc: Networks of Net Art – Syndicate and Deep Europe
~ with Tereza Havlíková @tereza_max@mastodon.social and Andreas Broeckmann (curator and researcher)
📍 nGbK, TUE, 13 JAN 2026 at 7 PM
https://ngbk.de/en/programm/termine/eastunbloc-netzwerke-der-netzkunst-syndicate-und-deep-europe
nGbK, Karl-Liebknecht-Straße 11, 10178 Berlin, 1st floor
Mailing lists played an important role in net art in the 1990s. They were tools for sharing open calls, organising events and circulating art news. But they were also public spaces for fostering connections and building discourse around media art. In 1996, the Syndicate mailing list was started as an „East-West Network“, exploring the possibilities of collaboration and explicitly reaching out to artists in the newly „reconnected“ Eastern Europe. As the name suggests, the members of the mailing list saw themselves as part of translocal relationships and a wider community.
The EastUnBloc exhibition argues that net art is shaped by storytelling. Therefore, Tereza Havlíková invited Andreas Broeckmann, one of the initiators and administrators of the Syndicate mailing list, to share the stories of this particular network. Together, they revisit the term „Deep Europe“, which was associated with the Syndicate network and fostered a European identity that transcended national borders, „enmeshed in a complex ‘felt’ of layers“. By exploring the Syndicate archive and viewing net artworks created in close proximity to this art and culture network, we hope to capture some of the spirit that drove net artists in Europe in the mid-1990s, a time of political and technological transition.
Andreas Broeckmann is an art historian and curator who lives in Berlin. He is a Visiting Professor in the PhD Program at Malmö Art Academy, and he teaches at the Academy of Fine Arts, Leipzig (HGB – Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst).
Tereza Havlíková is an art historian and curator based in Berlin and Bochum. Her research focuses on net art and digital art within the broader context of internet history and culture.

Netstalgia Not Acceptable – The Internet We Want
– an essay by Noemi Garay Murcia @Error417@tldr.nettime.org

Netstalgia is not a harmless longing for a better internet, it is the cultural symptom of platform capitalism in crisis.

Echolot revolutionizes the provision and reuse of high quality, interoperable Cultural Heritage data through AI-powered enrichment workflows, seamlessly integrated into the ECCCH (The Cultural Heritage Cloud or European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage). The new end-to-end solution relies on knowledge graphs and open source software (notably MediaWiki suite) for the application of the FAIR data principles and further integration of data within European infrastructures – Europeana, DS4CH, EOSC – as well as collaborative public knowledge bases, such as Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons.
https://echoes-eccch.eu/echolot
The Cultural Heritage Cloud or European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH) is a European Union initiative to create a shared digital infrastructure that connects cultural heritage institutions and professionals across the EU. It will provide specific digital collaboration tools for the sector while removing barriers for smaller and more remote institutions.

In den 1960er und 1970er Jahren führte die Automatisierung der Datenverarbeitung zur Aufwertung des Verwaltungsapparats: Mess- und Regulierbarkeit wurden zur gesellschaftlichen Utopie. Akribie und Obsession erforscht die Resonanzen des kybernetischen Denkens in künstlerischen und sozialen Praktiken, Architekturen und Technologien. Von der Schreibmaschinenkunst Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldts über die Datenspeicherung des Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit hin zu den kybernetischen Kompositionen von Roland Kayn versammelt der Band Formen der Datenverarbeitung und -visualisierung sowie die kybernetischen Utopien der Science-Fiction-Literatur in der DDR, der geplanten, selbstregulierenden Stadt Etarea und der Akademie der marxistisch-leninistischen Organisationswissenschaft. Der Verein Zentrum für Netzkunst (gegründet 2019 in Berlin) rekonstruiert, erhält und bewahrt Netzkunst und Netzkultur und ist angesiedelt am Haus der Statistik in Berlin.

Digitale Technologien sind eine Zumutung! Um dies zu ändern, sollten wir uns nicht von ihnen abwenden, sondern uns eingehender mit ihrer transformatorischen Macht befassen. Shintaro Miyazaki ruft dazu auf, die alternativen Rhythmen des kooperativen, solidarischen Zusammenlebens (Commoning) operabel zu machen und die Digitalität so zum Tanzen zu bringen. Er macht ein Leben vorstellbar, in dem Profit und Eigentum keine Rolle mehr spielen, sondern das nachhaltige Zusammenspiel der Bedürfnisse unserer lebendigen Ökosysteme mit jenen aller Menschen oberste Priorität hat. Hier trifft Kapitalismuskritik auf eine kritische, marxistisch-informierte Medientheorie der algorithmischen Modellierung anderer Zukünfte.
