About this event
Thirty years of the commercial internet in Finland, told at the Cable Factory: dial-up, the first banner ads, the agencies, the crashes, and the slide into an economy running on memes. A nostalgia trip that is also a real history of how this country got online. Free to walk through.
Why we picked it
Free, in Helsinki's best repurposed industrial building, on a subject with broad pull beyond art audiences.
