Web Design: A Look at the "Digital Archaeology" Exhibition Taking Place in NYC

From a Post on the StoryWorldWide.com Web Site:

Digital Archaeology, the exhibition that charts the disruptive moments of web design and celebrates the characters behind its radical evolution is to be shown in New York for the first time in June as a key part of Internet Week.

Originally debuting at Internet Week Europe in 2010, the show brings together what many consider to be the most significant sites of their time, each pushing the boundaries of how we play, interact and are entranced by technology. The sites themselves represent the achievement of a growing mastery of the format and how their creators skilfully, painstakingly and often lovingly develop shifts both subtle and seismic in the medium.
