Prince Online Museum archives star’s many websites
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 5 July 2016
He may have earned himself a bit of a reputation for being a tad ‘anti-internet’, but Prince had a long history of experimenting with online music. This is something a new ‘online museum’ aims to show, by archiving a number of the websites operated by the musician over more than 20 years.
“We launch with twelve of Prince’s most popular sites, but over 20 years online, Prince launched nearly 20 different websites, maintained a dozen different social media presences, participated in countless online chats and directly connected with fans around the world”, director of the Prince Online Museum, Sam Jennings, tells Billboard. “This museum is an archive of that work and a reminder of everything he accomplished as an independent artist with the support of his vibrant and dedicated online community”.
Scroll back through highlights of Prince’s online presence all the way back to 1994 here.
