IA’s Mek (Michael Karpeles) shows off experiments from Archive Lab.
Next up: head inside to learn more about the Internet Archive’s latest experiments. And be sure to find the gallery of works by the Internet Archive’s Artists-in-Residence, including the mind-tripping installation by artist Chris Sollars. live recordings of the Grateful Dead, and psychotropic literature from the Internet Archive’s digital vaults to create a commentary on the nexus between drug culture and early tech culture from the 80s and 90s.
Grab a grassy spot and contemplate Chris Sollars’ installation on display.
At 7 PM head upstairs to the Great Room for an hour-long whatsapp lead presentation of the coolest new tools and mind-boggling new collections of 2018. From the great works of Tibetan Buddhism to 12,000 free audiobooks on your mobile phone, we’ll unveil the latest and greatest breakthroughs of the year.
And don’t go home yet! At 8 PM we’ll head outside for dessert, gift giveaways, and dancing to the vinyl playlist of DJ Phast Phreddie. It’s a party with a purpose: to celebrate the open, creative, sharing community of the Web–a Web we’re working hard to make better each and every day.
