Crushing Experience

Posted by Hemos on from the odd-web-experiences dept.

sp00 writes "The Tsunamii.Net Crush Server is currently online live from the Millbank Gallery in London! Watch as the webserver counts itself down before it activates the industrial crusher attached to it, bearing 150-tonnes of brute force onto itself and terminating its existence. Check out the details on the Tsunamii.Net website or visit the webserver directly at http://195.195.81.5."

    Great! A suicidal server.
    At least it wasn't programmed by Al Quaida.

    (on the other hand, it looks like the fragetics server has been crushed by /.)

    "This work is an archetypal work of tsunamii.net whose work often conjures ridiculous scenarios and challenges about technology."

    I'll say...

    so instead of donating the server to a school or non profit organization that might NEED it, its going to be crushed and destroyed.

    This is almost as selfish as the people who blow up their old MACs.
