Temporary

Temporary.cc is the latest project of Zach Gage. In short, it’s a website that deletes itself.For each unique visitor it receives, Temporary.cc deletes part of itself. These deletions change the way browsers understand the website’s code and create a unique (de)generative piece after each new user. Because each unique visit produces a new composition through self-destruction, Temporary.cc can never be truly indexed, as any subsequent act of viewing could irreparably modifiy it. Eventually, like tangible media, Temporary.cc will fall apart entirely, becoming a blank white website. Its existence will be remembered only by those who saw or heard about it.

Really like the concept of this. Resonates with Mayer-Schonberger's "Delete" book. It appeals to my existential (yet-Wired-reading) sensibility ;) (thanks for subscribing to me by the way). Rob
