<nettime> Piazza virtuale, a social network before the internet

[Tilman Baumgärtel <mail@tilmanbaumgaertel.net>]

Dear all,

I just finished a research project on "Piazza virtuale" by Van Gogh TV, 
an early attempt to create a social network via TV, that took place at 
documenta 9 in 1992, shortly before the internet changed the rules for 
remote global participation and collaboration.

Here is a documentary on the project:

this ground-breaking project, click here to download the open access book:

Thanks for your interest,
Tilman
