A wall of ~150 web page screenshots of different pages with stickers, showing the early web, beloved sites long gone, and the current web … and lots of stickers representing people.
Info
A wall of web page screenshots: the early web, beloved sites long gone, and corners of today's internet that still matter. Choose a sticker as your avatar - or bring your own - and place yourself on the pages that shaped your internet journey. Show you're not alone in the places you care about.

Step up to a 5-meter canvas of Internet history and present: a mosaic of web page screenshots spanning three decades. From early hand-coded homepages, to beloved communities long swallowed by platforms, to the sites still standing today. This is your map of the Internet that matters to you.

Pick a sticker from our collection, or bring your own, and place yourself on the pages that shaped you. The web-zine that opened your mind. The forum where you found peers. The blog that proved you weren't alone. The weird little corner of the web you still visit.

Watch the wall come alive with fellow travelers. Discover clusters forming around virtual places. Find others who refuse to let go of the same digital spaces you cherish. See that behind every URL, there are real people who care.

This isn't just nostalgia, it's a declaration. Every sticker says: "I was here. These ideas still matter."

The exhibit visualizes what we've lost to algorithmic feeds and platform silos: the serendipity of sharing space with strangers who share your interests. It's a physical prototype of an idea we're building online, making people visible on the pages they visit.

Reclaim your web. Leave your mark.
