Yuri Takhteyev, Quinn DuPont:Retrocomputing as Preservation and Remix.(PDF)In:iConference 2013 Proceedings (pp. 422–432). doi:10.9776/13230.University of Toronto,2013,archiviertvomOriginalam13.Februar 2018;abgerufen am 26.März 2016(englisch):„This paper looks at the world of retrocomputing, a constellation of largely non-professional practices involving old computing technology. Retrocomputing includes many activities that can be seen as constituting “preservation.” At the same time, it is often transformative, producing assemblages that “remix” fragments from the past with newer elements or joining together historic components that were never combined before. While such “remix” may seem to undermine preservation, it allows for fragments of computing history to be reintegrated into a living, ongoing practice, contributing to preservation in a broader sense. The seemingly unorganized nature of retrocomputing assemblages also provides space for alternative “situated knowledges” and histories of computing, which can sometimes be quite sophisticated. Recognizing such alternative epistemologies paves the way for alternative approaches to preservation.“
