Shownotes

Season One of Artifacts explores the emotional history of the internet generation. Not just the technology itself, but the feelings attached to it.

The optimism. The weirdness. The creativity.

The sense that the internet once felt smaller.

More personal. More human.

This season:

  • the Dreamcast becomes a lost future
  • old forums become digital neighbourhoods
  • burned CDs become emotional time capsules
  • and forgotten corners of the internet remind us what online spaces used to feel like before everything became content

This is Artifacts Season One: Lost Futures.

New episodes weekly.
