The permanent development of the Internet and related software updates on websites can be the cause of unintentional changes in digital artworks. The interdisciplinary research project COSE (Programmed Secrets: Artistic Interventions in the Digital Fabric) was initiated by Inge Hinterwaldner, professor at the KIT Institute for the History of Art and Architecture, and addresses exactly this challenge. The aim of the project is to make the use of digital art in the humanities more accessible by recording art that is not yet recognizable as such, integrating it into a database, and documenting it. The focus of the project is on computer-based artistic artifacts that can be tracked down on the Internet, online art.
