Sean Clark Projects

1990s Cyberculture Archive

The early-1990s saw a coming together of new technology and alternative cultures in quite an extraordinary way. The early Internet, Virtual Reality and new forms of mobile communications mixed with cyberpunk, neo-psychedelia, pre-milenium madness, digital arts, video games, rave, ambient and electronic music and various other sub-cultures to create a lively mix that is now referred to collectively as '1990s Cyberculture'.

I've recently started to catalogue my collection of materials from the time. I'm filling a few gaps with eBay purchases and hope that the archive will grown organically with donations and recommendations. In the future, I want to interview people and document personal stories too, so if you have something to talk about - or have anything to donate - please get in touch with me at seanc@cuttlefish.com.

Items in bold have been catalogued, other items are either in my collection but not catalogued, or are things that I'm on the look-out for.
