DIGITAL EROSION
(a script that refuses to die)
A python file that mutates one character of itself per hour, commits the result, and waits. When the mutations finally render it un-runnable, an external guardian restores it — imperfectly, with traces of every previous death. The git history is the artwork.
The script is allowed to die. It is not allowed to stay dead.
