Link Rot, Lost Discographies, and the Preservation of Your Favorite Media | Episode 23
Join us for another great Utopia District podcast! On today's episode we dive deep into the ever-evolving landscape of digital preservation, lost music treasures, and ever increase corporatization digital media. We embark on a journey through the highs and lows of the world of Blu-ray 4K remasters, separating the gems from the dust and what can go wrong - our nostalgia-driven exploration then heads into the enigmatic world of classic cartoons, unearthing forgotten gems like "The Maxx," "The Head," "Spawn," "Aeon Flux," and "Cybersix." Join us as we rediscover these animated wonders and reminisce about their impact on pop culture.
Stepping into the present, we immerse into some new vaporwave albums, as well as discuss the unfortunate loss of discography deletion by prominent vaporwave artists, 骨架的 skeleton, computer dreams, and 天気予報 asutenki's Bandcamp pages, and what it might mean.
We also revisit some timeless videos and shows that have left an indelible mark on our memories. From the vibrant streets of Brazil with Arnold in Rio during carnival, to the neon-soaked nights of "Miami Vice" and "Moonlighting," from the interstellar adventures of "Firefly" to the sun-kissed shores of "Baywatch," and from the mysterious gates of "Stargate" to the iconic VHS' at Whammy Video in LA, join us for a chat about these cultural touchstones and what made them so great. We also discuss: Showgirls, Troma, VHS collecting, 4:3 vs 16:9, content and the shift of attention span, and lots more!
Lastly, we discuss the importance of archival initiatives like archive.org, soulseek, and the fleeting nature of digital media versus physical. We hope you enjoy joining us along for the ride!

Jumper Kimmons My favorite aspect with this entire medium, whether you call it circuit bending, video bending or glitch art, is that there are no rules, limits or guidelines to follow. It’s limited only by your own imagination, in the sense that you can create something amazing with literal spare parts and any signal. Old media, camera feedback or professionally made custom circuit boards can all hold something beautiful hidden inside. All you need is some patience and the desire to reach out and capture something truly unique in the static.
Moirebender To me, video art is a lens that translates musical performance into the visual medium, that best amplifies the overall experience. We each perform using our personal gear and our own styles of art, but our purpose within the context of a show is to maximize the impact of the event, and make it even more memorable.
VideodromeTVVideo is my canvas.
