The Oak.Neo Archives are a collection of message attachments that included images, sounds, and designs of the many people who contributed to The Designers Republic’s original newsgroup forum, “neo.dr”, and it’s spin-off group, “oaktree”.
As one of the most influential design groups of our generation, The Designers Republic opened themselves to their fan base with a newsgroup named “neo.dr”. This allowed us, (the fan base) a window in to their many adventures in to the avant garde. Their intimacy forged new paths and lessons for a lot of us; and created a community of people who still communicate with each other to this day. This archive pays homage to those early days.
