Presented by InterAccess, Vector Festival 2025, 404_not_found, embraces the broken hyperlink, the loading screen, and the sharks biting undersea fiber-optic cables.
The 12th edition of Vector Festival, 404_not_found, will resurface our forgotten realities of the 1:1 relationship between digital representations of the physical. If we held close the understanding that our digital memories had physical footprints – motherboards that can corrode or servers that require maintenance – would we still expect immortality from the web? How can we build websites that are meant to decay, perennial files, or computers that are only awake with the sun? Can our machines teach us to celebrate impermanence?
