linkRot!! Dancing the patterns of digital decay
summary
A durational choreography that claims link rot and obsolescence can be embodied and audited, using audio of all talks recorded the day before and a live octatrack stream from Brooklyn New York to build then fragment a networked soundscape. It enumerates four failure modes — 404 pages, broken redirects, irreproducible systems, decaying magnetic tape — and ends with a literal lone hard drive spinning, prompting practical questions about what archival metadata and runtime packaging would actually reproduce.
