Abstract

Un espace de stockage et de conservation des contenus nativement digitaux. A Place of Storage and Preservation of nativly digital Contents. Text: m.ark is information; m.ark is immaterial; m.ark is hardware m.ark is storage; m.ark is material; m.ark is content; m.ark is a container m.ark is a place; m.ark is a locus; m.ark is a network m.ark is surfaces; m.ark is deepness; m.ark is a wall; m.ark is space; m.ark is structure; m.ark is infrastructure m.ark is a destination; m.ark is nowhere; m.ark is ubiquitary m.ark is time; m.ark is perennial m.ark is an organism; m.ark is constantly growing; m.ark is self-ruling m.ark is conceptual; m.ark is a heterotopia m.ark is a sanctuary; m.ark is a monument; m.ark is a representation m.ark is memory; m.ark is our past; m.ark is our future. Internet culture's new paradigms required the redefinition of concepts which seemed so far to be acquired and stable, like the notion of place, existence, surface, space or time. Given the simultaneity and immediacity of the internet and its ability to substract itself from all spatial constraints, M.ark fixes in space and time the continuous flow of information in perpetual movement. M.ark is an entity dedicated to store and preserve Internet users generated content. It is a place, a locus, constantly growing, where informations and datas turn into space, making a new type of cathedral of the information and memory's age.

Internet slang
Internet slang (also called Internet shorthand, cyber-slang, netspeak, digispeak or chatspeak) is a non-standard or unofficial form of language used by people on the Internet to communicate to one another. An example of Internet slang is "LOL" meaning "laugh out loud". Since Internet slang is constantly changing, it is difficult to provide a standardized definition. However, it can be understood to be any type of slang that Internet users have popularized, and in many cases, have coined.
Internet
The Internet (or internet) is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to communicate between networks and devices. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the interlinked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and .
History of the Internet
The history of the Internet has its origin in information theory and the efforts of scientists and engineers to build and interconnect computer networks. The Internet Protocol Suite, the set of rules used to communicate between networks and devices on the Internet, arose from research and development in the United States and involved international collaboration, particularly with researchers in the United Kingdom and France.
