About the Project

Eden.Garden is a web art work by Entropy8Zuper! (Auriea Harvey & Michaël Samyn), created in 2001. It was no longer accessible because it depended on obsolete browser technologies and web standards that no longer exist.

Restoration

The software restoration involved recreating the web environment of around 2001 needed for the work to function, recovering the original interaction mechanisms and visual elements in a contemporary technical context. The restored work was featured at Rhizome World in New York City (2025).

Context

The restoration was part of the Choose Your Filter! exhibition at ZKM (February 1 – August 24, 2025), which developed from two KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) research projects on internet art.
