Sure, you could turn a 404 page into a minimalist performance—just a blinking cursor, a message in block letters, and a clock ticking in the corner. Call it "404: The Endless Wait." It’s art, but honestly, it’s probably just a clever way to remind people to fix their links.

You could have a cursor jump around like a rogue cursor in a bad IDE, add some distorted synth noise every time it blinks, and layer a neon glitch overlay. The key is to keep the transition from a normal page load to that chaotic scene in under a second, so users don’t just get frustrated. That way you’re not handing them a performance piece but a deliberate, timed art interrupt that still feels intentional.
