I created an net art piece that moves to a new URL whenever someone views it. It is not possible to link to the art piece. Over time the art piece will become very hard to view. This is an experiment in introducing artificial scarcity into digital work.https://permanent-redirect.xyz/

Well, it got stuck in a loop and crashed. Trying to fix now.

Trying a new method to fix the
$hits problem, but its making it slower and sometimes 500 errors. Got a new plan to try next though.Show this thread

Looks like it's stuck again around 10:36-10:37 at~20 views. I was so close
-
Unstuck!
-
Made it! Not what I expected, but worth the clicks! But how did 44 people see *that* page?pic.twitter.com/2pz841vI9w
-
The final page carries along its hit count. Glad you saw the art!
-
Why is the hit count different from the number of times the art moved? Is the hit count for unique visitors?
-
Things have gotten out of sync with multiple people finding the art at the same time, but the movement count should be equal to the hit count on the art.
-
As well as having to put the art back up a few times after it disappeared.

Can’t tell if this is your intentionpic.twitter.com/tOFcUY9MJi
-
The art does exist, but that is not it.
-
Alright well hopefully it gets worked out soon it’s a cool idea :)
-
Thanks! I think when it settles down the infinite loops will stop appearing.
-
Ah, so is it not supposed to go to the same three or four links over and over?
-
No, that is not the intention. I'm still trying to figure out why the redirects become circular, while putting the art back up every few mins.
-
Ok! I'll wait for it to settle down then. Love the idea though!
