About this event
Thirty years of Finnish digital culture laid out at the Cable Factory, from dial-up modems and demo scene to the meme economy. Seven hours a day, eleven days running. If you were online in Finland at any point since 1996 some of this is your own biography. The Cable Factory itself is worth the tram ride.
