Abstract
The telematics timeline is a curatorial online project and a part of the exhibition „Telematic Connections: The Virtual Embrace“ (San Francisco Art Institute, 2001, curated by Steve Dietz). It chronicles the history of technology's impact on the arts and on popular culture and is intended as an open source context for the works in the exhibition. Dietz: „The Internet - specifically the World Wide Web - has become such a successful "meme" in our society, that there is almost a cultural amnesia about telecommunications-based art that pre-dates the Web.“ The telematics timeline attempts to capture some of the early highlights of media art as well as a longer history of enabling technological innovation. „Most importantly, it is open source. Anyone can upload new information or interpretations into the timeline via the Internet.“
