The exhibition features three associative lists of terms, illustrated with quotes and visuals, that highlight histories and transformations of net cultures. These terms fall into one of three categories: Legacies, Shifts, and Dis/Continuities. Legacies are concepts and phenomena of net cultures that have persisted over time, of the past while not entirely relegated to it. Shifts are technological and cultural game changers, events, movements, and technologies that have significantly altered the terrain of net cultures. Dis/Continuities are cultural practices that both reference and reform Legacies and Shifts, speculating on possible futures with and beyond networks.

The lists are necessarily incomplete, forming an “anarchive” of references to be further activated during the exhibition. A selection of nine Legacies, presented here and in the exhibition space, serve as starting points: The Eternal Network, End to End, Decentralization, Net Critique, Tactical Media, Cyberfeminism, Infrastructures, Geographies, and Ecologies. Each features iconic and/or inspirational quotes and visuals, followed by Shifts and Dis/Continuities related to the specific Legacy term.
