In the nineties, when the personal computer entered private homes, it felt like a spatial extension of the living room, the office table, or the cellar computer station. As soon as computers got connected to the internet new ideas about what this space could be came into play. The early users did not just explore these new places, they built them; In her immersive talk Olia Lialina takes us on a dive through the cities, neighborhoods, buildings and dwellings of GeoCities, nineties legendary free hosting service. As Lialina shows us, it is no coincidence that ‘homepage’ implies the ‘home,’ since many of the early websites were designed as houses shaping the fantasy of an urban space online.

Olia Lialina is among the best-known participants in the nineties net.art scene—an early days, network-based pioneer of the arts. Her early work had a great impact on recognizing the internet as a medium for artistic expression and storytelling. In this century, her continuous and close attention to internet architecture, ‘net.language,’ and vernacular web has made her an important voice in contemporary art and new media theory. Lialina is credited with founding Art Teleportacia, one of the earliest web galleries. She is cofounder and keeper of One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age Archive, author of Digital Folklore (2009) and Turing Complete User (2021), professor at Merz Akademie in Stuttgart, and an animated GIF model.

Looking at the State of CSS 2024 results. Anchor positioning came out first in the "CSS features you can't use yet" question.

I agree! We can't get this soon enough to get rid of complex and costly tooltip positioning JS code. And, we can all help by applying some pressure!
