About this Event

PANEL DISCUSSION

Step into the forgotten corners of the internet with an exhibition that transforms real web archive data into playful, thought-provoking artworks. From vanished websites to fading digital traces, these pieces invite you to reflect on what’s preserved, what’s lost, and what that reveals about our identities and values. As the lines blur between online and offline life, the exhibition asks: who decides what’s worth remembering, and how does that shape our shared story?

During the Museum Late, the team behind the project will host a panel discussion on Scotland’s digital footprints. We’ll explore how web archives are created, what gets included or left out, and why those choices matter, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the politics of web preservation. 

This event is partially funded by the ESRC Festival of Social Science,  the National Library of Scotland, and the British Academy.

This event is part of the Being Human Festival, the UK’s national festival of the humanities, taking place 6 - 15 November 2025. Led by the School of Advanced Study, University of London, with generous support from Research England, in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy.
