During the 90s, manifestos devoted to exploring the relationships between art and the everexpanding net abounded. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the rise of the World Wide Web, the era of the "pioneers" of the 80s was fading and the limits of the "electronic frontier" and its future were beginning to be discussed. Artists, activists, hackers, writers, musicians, researchers, curators and theorists expressed in manifestos their political concerns and aesthetic stakes of the time, which are still relevant today. This publication brings them together for the first time in a selection populated with web links that exceeds the margins of printed paper and transforms the book into a time machine, a non-stop journey through the "cyberspace" of the 20th century.
