"...the failure of media, the collapse of media, the supercessions of media, the strangulations of media...media that have died on the barbed wire of technological advance, media that didn't make it, martyred media, dead media." B. Sterling. This is a celebration of Dead Media with photos, videos, ads, art, texts, events, labs...

Exploring locations created fifteen-plus years ago in two-decade-old software doesn’t bode well for the future of the web. Virtual picture frames that pointed to images hosted on external sites are now ghostly embodiments of dead links —static-filled picture frames that leave physical scars on the virtual environment.
