Drawing on ongoing research into pioneering digital works from the mid-1990s to the 2010s, Meirelles explores how designers used emerging web technologies to create innovative forms of visual storytelling and cultural data representation. The talk will consider the challenges of documenting works lost to obsolete platforms and technologies, highlighting the importance of preserving digital design history for future generations of designers, artists, and researchers.
