Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
A SHOW OF LIGHTS, SOUNDS AND COLOURS
Famous for touching large audiences, they combine the sports tradition with the best cultural expressions of the city and country hosting the competitions. For the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games (5 August), the programme expects a display that will highlight Brazil’s diverse nature and the festive and welcoming way of Brazilians. Music and dance will be the highlights. The programme is expected to last approximately three hours and includes the parade of athletes and the lighting of the Olympic cauldron.
The closing ceremony of the Olympic journey will be held on 21 August. It will be a new opportunity to celebrate Rio de Janeiro and Brazil, with that special feeling of looking back at the Games’ best moments and handing over the Olympic flag to Tokyo, next host of the Games in 2020.
