Digital projects

Series
1994-2007

Part of Douglas Coupland fonds

The majority of records in this series consist of textual, photographic and graphic material related to the earliest iterations of Coupland’s website. In 1996, Coupland launched Coupland.com. This website incorporated prose pieces, various digital renderings of artwork he had created in the past and digital images and collages created specifically for the website. Material crated for the website also influenced Coupland’s later literary and visual art projects.
