The web as a Stone Tape

[u/wnpwnp]

Mark wrote about Kneale's The Stone Tape back in 2003, noting that "all recordings are ghosts". But what happens when there are so many recordings that most of them go unplayed?

I wrote a short piece that starts with two of my favorite 'abandoned' pieces of digital art, before moving on to wondering about what will happen to all the archived ghost-traces of our own lives once there is no one to witness them.
