Restoring a Lost Web Domain

Restoring the former Yugoslavia's web domain, A renaissance in digital art, Eyes in the sky - measuring satellite images

In March 2010 every webpage with the domain address ending in .yu disappeared from the internet 鈥 the largest ever to be removed. This meant that the internet history of the former Yugoslavia was no longer available online. Dr Anat Ben-David, from the Open University in Israel, has managed to rebuild about half of the lost pages 鈥 pages that document the Kosovo Wars, which have been called "the first internet war鈥.

Digital Renaissance
Is technology leading to a renaissance in the arts? Just like the invention of oil paint spurred the Renaissance in painting could digital tools be doing the same in today鈥檚 art world? Tracey Logan visits the Saatchi Gallery in London to see emerging digital art from Asia and asks could exhibits like Flutter of Butterflies Beyond Borders be changing our cultural experiences forever?

Eyes in the Sky
Instant analysis of thousands of satellite images is allowing engineers to use these images as measurements. From calculating the levels of global oil reserves and the rates of construction in China to even working out how much money we are spending in shops, major advances in machine learning are allowing investors, businesses and governments to make better informed decisions about ventures and policies. James Crawford, CEO of Orbital Insight, a company based in California explains how they do this. As part of 大象传媒鈥檚 AI week, Azeem Azhar, technology entrepreneur and Click鈥檚 Bill Thompson discuss the advances in AI and what they mean to us.
