Hello fellow #floppy fans! Through some fiddling and optimisation I've freed up about 180KB of space on http://floppy.museum and need something to fill it with.

Since my brain is pretty much empty at the moment, I would be very grateful for any ideas the Fediverse could offer. Some ground rules:

• It needs to fit in the space given (duh!)
• It needs to be relevant to floppies and/or #retrocomputing
• It can be software (yet another service), in which case it must run under #MSDOS on a 286, and should have moderate memory requirements (some EMS and XMS is OK, but at most 380KB conventional..)
• It can be art (but don't expect me to create any, so the license must permit this usage)
• Should not require modern browsers of hardware to access/enjoy

Ideas floated so far:

• Gopher server (problem: how to convert html to gopher pages; yes I've tried, no it's not easy)
• Rmenu (a telnet server allowing running of commands on the machine)
• Samantha Fox GIFs

Spread the word and give me ideas! The sillier the better!

Performance art with shite criticism or should that be criticism of shite?

hellooo fedi!!!

i am overdue for an #introduction:

i am a transfem artist based in #adelaide, kaurna yerta and have a background in #gamedev, specifically #virtualreality. i cant stop thinking about #transreality experiences, #pervasivegames, and other transmedia storytelling ( #ARGs! ), but most of my artistic practice would be in what i would more broadly call participatory #performanceart

i love #opensource, #diy (as in punk), #openscience, and building and pulling apart systems!!

What's this? I'm a *moth*!

Rarely performed today, Bauhaus artist Oskar Schlemmer's 'Triadic Ballet' is a striking, playful dance structured around groups of three.

‘A living, breathing work of art’: Leigh Bowery by those who knew him best https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2025/feb/02/a-living-breathing-work-of-art-leigh-bowery-by-those-who-knew-him-best #Performanceart #Artanddesign #Lifeandstyle #MichaelClark #LeighBowery #Exhibitions #LucianFreud #TateModern #Clubbing #Fashion #Culture #TheFall #Music #Dance #Stage #Art

Here's a sort of reintroduction post showing some recent-ish work.

I chose these examples because I don't think they need CWs, whereas some of my other work would, but the first image does have alcohol in it (hence the blur)

1. Lararium (fandom): Oh My God, This Is Happening!

2. Playful Rituals (08)

3. Flare/Fog

4. Work in progress, a collaborative piece as part of Changeling Morris

Samedi pour la release party de Pronostic Vital
