-===== Harzretro ===== 
-Axel Ehrlich shows parts of his computer collection 'Harzretro' from Clausthal-Zellerfeld in the 'Harz' region of Germany. Many aspects of computing history are shown, from Zuse to the Imsai 8080 and the predecessors of today's high performance computers. In addition, computer- and console game history will be shown.\\

 +===== Historic Calculating Tools from Abacus to Curta =====
 +Before electric calculating machines and later on computers were used for calculations, many different (mechanical) tools were invented to reduce the effort. This exhibition will show a number of milestones of this development, from the simple abacus and slide rule to a variety of (electro-)mechanical calculating machines up to the Curta hand calculating machine, a master piece of precision mechanics.\\

 +====== Special Exhibition "Collecting Computers as a Hobby" ======
 +Technology is outdating fast and old technology is therefore accumulating quickly. Such collections of technology are most often found in basements, in attics,
 + in cupboards – far away from public access. There, they build up a history of objects, which tells us about the technological advances in general, but also tells us an individual history of human and technology (namely the owner's). When such artefacts are not disposed of, but even collected, it shows their owner's wish to keep their material past visible. Many computer collections developed in this way, and now collect dust in the shadows. The VCFB gives such collectors a chance to present and explain their devices and set forth their collection's history and philosophy to interested people. We use this year's virtualization of the festival to grant insights in private technospheres and maybe allow some computer-historic artefacts that used to just be an "aggregation of outdated computers" to be perceived as part of private conservation efforts and connect collectors among each other. Participants include private collections, museums, research collections, and depots.
