A new all-time-high witness enters the experiment.
Live experiment
The more people
see it, the less remains.

The experiment
Every new all-time high removes
one pixel forever.
No pixel returns. Unfollows cannot restore them. The record only moves in one direction.
One coordinate is selected and permanently removed.
The new state joins an immutable public archive.
When the final pixel disappears,
the experiment ends.02

What this artwork is
Nothing art / participatory conceptual art
An artwork about absence,
written by attention.
Participatory art
The audience does not merely view the work. Each verified new all-time Instagram follower becomes a witness and permanently removes one unique pixel.
Process and conceptual art
The rule is the medium: growth creates loss, and an unfollow cannot reverse history. Every state preserves all earlier erased coordinates.
Digital and internet art
The artwork exists as a 1,000 × 1,000 digital image, a permanent pixel ledger, public Instagram records, and this independently maintained web archive.
A disappearing artwork
At one million verified witnesses, all one million pixels will be gone. Until then, every state documents what remains and what cannot return.
