Nostalgia persists \u2013 and even thrives \u2013 as a site of imagination, memory, cultural production, creativity and maintenance. This one-day conference seeks to explore how digital and computing pasts are remembered, revived, and reimagined. Technostalgia stands at the intersection of personal memory and collective practices, intertwining affects, communities, cultures, heritage, markets and ideologies. Whether through the emulation of obsolete systems, the storytelling of early computing experiences, the maintenance of vintage hardware, the emulation of videogames and dead formats, the aesthetic strategies of retro interfaces and design, a market of \u201cgeek\u201d artifacts, activities of communities related to retro-computing or the demo scene, technostalgia opens a fertile ground for analysing both \u201crestorative\u201d and \u201creflective\u201d relations to past IT technologies (<a href=\"https:\/\/mediarep.org\/server\/api\/core\/bitstreams\/4df62f4d-f767-4ec1-9c5b-8f387e86fe31\/content?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Van der Heijden, 2015<\/a>).
