    If you see something, save something. Web pages disappear every day. 🕳️ They change, move, get deleted—or simply get forgotten. Save Page Now lets you preserve a webpage that's important to you before it changes or disappears. See something worth keeping? Save it today. ➡️

    Negativland LIVE at Internet Archive! For more than 40 years, Negativland has turned found sound, radio & mass media into provocative art. Over The Edge: Significantly Less Deceptive brings that to life in San Francisco! 📅 Wed, Sept 16, 6 PM 📍 IN-PERSON, 300 Funston Ave, SF
    Vintage-style event poster for a Negativland show, "Significantly Less Deceptive," described as "an Over the Edge style show, no visuals, with Q&A." A retro illustration shows a woman retrieving food from an open refrigerator, with a banner reading "San Francisco, September 16, 2026."

    For many artists, a website is more than a portfolio. It’s a record of a life’s work, built over decades, & something they want future generations to find. CARTA is helping preserve more than 50 artists’ websites, many by Latinx artists, so their work can survive technical
    A composite image of three artworks. On top, side by side: Consuelo Jimenez Underwood's fiber art wall installation spelling "CAUTION" in colorful woven thread (shown at The Armory Show with Ruiz-Healy Art, New York, NY, 2023), and Tim Davis's 2017 silkscreen print "Together As One," depicting a dense crowd before a white pyramid-shaped monument. Below, spanning the width: Bibiana Suárez's 1997-1998 digital prints "El niño Atocha con dálmatas / Little Jesus with Dalmatians" and "Jackie," two circular images showing a saint-like figure with animated 101 Dalmatians puppies and a photograph of Jackie Kennedy with her children Caroline and John Jr. from the funeral processional, placed alongside a veiled, crowned religious icon.
