Abstract
"Memory_Archive_Database v 3.0" details and discusses the implications of the rising internet database in relation to information, art, and society within the early 2000s. With the internet database, the perpetually updated mass digital archive of information available to the general public. Being as prominent as it is, its holistic effects over the art world has grown tremendously and continues to do so with its expansion into the modern art world. Dietz discusses these implications in length, specifically “database culture” and its effects on new media art as well as different works of new media art which pertain to data archiving. Issues surrounding the process of archiving digital media are also discussed.
