Alternatives and Finding Notability

Le Québec, Montréal, compte de nombreuses galeries d'art; les livres peuvent être facilement publiés. Perhaps you can take measures to preserve and distribute your library of artwork. I did find similar art preserved in the US through a grant from the National Endowment of the arts; and I have found more than one instance of art galleries displaying 8-bit art. I think also "on demand" books might be an option. As a pop art collector (actually I collect what is interesting to me either from very established artists to street artists) what I do with NFT's (warriors with women) and meme's (Wojak et al) in my personal collection is send them out to print services so the art can be displayed. Both books and posters can be sold online. Also, local newspapers might pick you up in an article if you contact them. When nominating an article for deletion I made looking for support part of the process - I would share some of the sentiments expressed to keep the article. Others in the discussion (including the moderator are weighing what they would like to see vs the narrow, and somewhat arbitrary, criteria for article inclusion) If you want to preserve your body of artwork the only way to do so would be to build momentum; Anyway, and perhaps I hope I have offered some ideas.

The art is at no risk of disappearing; the presence of the article serves as a gateway communicating to the outside world that the computer art traditions of the '90s are not purely historical but ongoing. A month ago someone read about us in an old electronic magazine on the Internet Archive, looked it up on Google, found us at Wikipedia and from there worked their way to our Discord to say hello and see what we'd been up to lately. I fear that without the article, those kinds of connections will be lost. We keep making our artwork regardless of the size or brightness of light shining in our direction, but it is desirable to not become _more_ obscure the longer we're at it 8) Pseudo Intellectual (talk) 19:44, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

I agree; I used to be involved in the gallery scene of the 1980's in NYC; and lived in Montreal for five years (worked in Lyon and across much of Europe). I think there is a lot of interest in what you are doing. A single press article might help with "notability;" with Wikipedia the egg (from coverage) comes before the chicken. It is a bit too pedantic plus what is important tends to get missed. There are lots of things I would like to see from the 1970's and 1980's that are frittering away because it is pre internet. Even BBS stuff, minitel, archie veronica is not in the generational memory. Flibbertigibbets (talk) 20:25, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
