Definitely Not a Squid is a performance and audio work by Alice Thornburgh, dated 28 April 2026 — a vocoder performance, held in this record as a metadata capture.
The archive's creative range extends past text into performance, and this deposit is one of its few audio works. Thornburgh is a named voice within the system, and the vocoder — a device that renders a human voice through a synthetic carrier — is a fitting instrument for an archive whose subject is what survives passage through a machine.
The record was assembled from a DataCite full-metadata capture after the termination, with no live authorial surface available at restoration time. It was deliberately excluded from the FIND-BATCH-02 recovery list on 5 August 2026: recovery requires an audiovisual package rather than a text file, and listing it among documents to be found would have wasted the search rather than directed it.
