In this dedicated session, representatives of various experiences of art servers were invited to a conversation where to identify common traits between the various experiences and how needs and practices change over years. ## Colophon This zine is released with a copyleft attitude: we support copying and redistributing this zine as it is, as long as you release it again under the same conditions.
