In this sacred space we honour the memory of some feminist websites and media. This nekrocemetery is an archive of static copies of these websites. They are like a snapshot of when they were "alive", when they were available online. We extract a static copy for weight reasons, but also for security reasons.

Dead data with zombie potential

Static copies no longer contain dynamic elements such as videos linked from portals or certain programming languages such as Flash or Java. In these static copies of themselves, once they are removed from their original host and life, by archiving them, their memory becomes somehow smoother and more synthetic, the content, shapes and colors remain, but the interactions and movements, their behaviors, are no longer present.

These sites were in danger of being closed, or had already been closed, for various reasons, not always because they were no longer spaces of possibility, belonging or heritage, but because sometimes their validity had expired over time (like a website for an event that has already happened, but you still want to remember it), sometimes because the partners who keep it together no longer agree, sometimes because its current guardian is not reliable, sometimes because there are no longer reasons to keep it, sometimes because the collective has disappeared.

Obituary:

In this nekrocemetery, we remember and write an obituary for these pages. An obituary attempts to give an account of the context, public significance and meaning of the life of the deceased.

We make sure that each page has its own necrology

  • What was the intention of the site?
  • Who were the people or collectives who kept it online by maintaining, visiting or contributing to it?
  • How long were they active?
  • Why were they removed?
  • Do they have the potential to come back to life?

If someone still has an integral copy of the website and its database and is happy to give it to others or group who wants to re-connect it to a hosting and take care of its maintenance, we consider that the website has zombie potential.

They are zombies

An act of tribute, remembrance, inspiring legacy.
