First person accounts by pioneers in the field, classic essays, and
new scholarship document the collaborative and creative practices
of early social media. Focusing on early social media in the arts
and humanities and on the core role of creative computer
scientists, artists, and scholars in shaping the pre-Web social
media landscape, Social Media Archeology and Poetics documents
social media lineage, beginning in the 1970s with collaborative
ARPANET research, Community Memory, PLATO, Minitel, and ARTEX and
continuing into the 1980s and beyond with the Electronic Cafe, Art
Com Electronic Network, Arts Wire, The THING, and many more. With
first person accounts from pioneers in the field, as well as papers
by artists, scholars, and curators, Social Media Archeology and
Poetics documents how these platforms were vital components of
early social networking and important in the development of new
media and electronic literature. It describes platforms that
allowed artists and musicians to share and publish their work,
community networking diversity, and the creation of footholds for
the arts and humanities online. Anditinvites comparisons of social
media in the past and present, asking: What can we learn from early
social media that will inspire us to envision a greater cultural
presence on contemporary social media? Contributors Madeline
