Dump and Forget Your Social Media Post

Do you have any social media posts left undeleted? If you do not use or need them any more, why not digitally throw them away like your weekly garbage bins?

 

The form below (at the end of this page) is to be used to submit social media posts. The submitted posts will be shared on this website, which is a piece of online based, participatory artwork by Shinji Toya. The site is an online dumping ground of social media posts, and the uploaded posts will be shared with the online world, visually dissolving gradually, and fading, as if landfilll turning into soil.

The digital decay of all the posts progresses slightly by passing of each day, as well as the visitors’ interactions where they click the “forget” button appearing over the dumped posts. This interactivity introduces a collective form of contribution to the digital decay, in addition to the gradual, quasi-natural decay of the posts happening everyday.

 

* Please note: the submission of a social media post does not delete the original data of your post – from your social media page or the company’s server.
