Mediamatic Magazine – Exquisite 20th century media and art publication. Mediamatic was founded in 1983 as a meeting place for media, television and video artists, intellectuals and scientists. After a while the first Mediamatic Magazine was published; a magazine about media, art and television that was published internationally. It acquired a legendary status among those interested in the discussion around new media. From 1994 and onwards every issue was accompanied CD-ROM/DVD-ROM art.
Subtitled "Hardware Software Wetware," this issue examines the impact of digital technology on the human subject. According to contributors like Adilkno/Bilwet, the individual is no longer a traditional ego but "wetware" — a biological interface attached to machines. It discusses the mind traveling via hardware/software while the body remains, short-circuits of the all-too-human, static literature, and data preservation in the information society.
