Prompt
The prompt is to "Make a site that's meant to be lost." "Lost" has a few widely-accepted meanings. One can lose themselves in a moment. A person can lose a cherished or useful item. You can lose a loved one. People lose interest in things. It's the name of a wildly popular TV show in the 2000s (the decade).
Ideas
- A website whose address changes every so often. Example: The DJ Shadow Samples page, back in the 2000s (the decade).
- A website that fades away if somebody doesn't visit it for a certain amount of time.
- Opposite: A website that wears out a little every time somebody visits it.
- A website that absolutely requires maintenance to run smoothly, like a car.
- A website that somehow can't be lost, like my toque that I think I lose every few days, but don't actually.
- A website that's hiding in plain sight, like my DVD set of The Wire. I was looking for it for months, but it was right where it was supposed to be the whole time.
- Losing one of a pair of socks. Like, how is that even possible? Where do they go? (I'm familiar with some of the explanations out there.)
- This is what I went with, a site that randomly loses track of its assets, just the "poster" attribute of a video element.
- A site that loses sight of itself, like how you lose sight of your goals due to distractions, other priorities, etc.
- Since the WRBL site itself has a lot of placeholders, what if the thing destined for it "loses its place in line"?
