PICNIC'11: Project re dds: digital archeology (September 14, 2011)
re:DDS is an attempt to reconstruct the DDS. De Digitale Stad (DDS), the Digital City, was one of the first online community network that operated on an European scale. DDS was founded in the fall of 1993 by 10-15 people (fluid group) and was launched at 15 januari 1994 in Amsterdam. The DDS was inspired by the Community Networks movement in the US and Canada and functioned as a Free-Net in the Netherlands. DDS has attracted international interest for the design it had chosen: it used the metaphor of a city to structure the information and communication in cyberspace and made the users into ‘inhabitants’. Initiatially DDS started as a 10 week pilot. The Digital City has been a public domain virtual city in Amsterdam between 1994 and 2001. Check: http://www.re-dds.nl/
