I worked as a researcher at the Laboratory for Electronic Art & Design, FABICO/UFRGS from 1991 to 1999. Under the orientation from professors Flavio Cauduro and Marilia Levacov, we researched Digital Art & Design, studied and participated in the birth and growth of the World Wide Web, developed events and curricula, talked to modems, among many other things. As a tribute to those times, I put online a back-up of the lab’s first web pages, plus a later redesign. You can also check out its current website and learn about the people who are carrying on with research at LEAD nowadays.
