The only Y2K incident that I know of afflicted the server that used to host The Remedi Project, which unfortunately was hosting my art piece Mt. Fuji, built in 1997 or 98. The piece consisted of an image of one of Hokusai's Mt. Fujis, one pixel of which would disappear with each page view. It was based on the poetic description in Japanese poetry, that eternity was the equivalent of the time it took for Mt. Fuji to disappear if you took the finest piece of gauze and touched the top of Mt. Fuji once every hundred years.

I don't remember the exact dimensions of the Mt. Fuji image, but I'd estimated it would have taken roughly 5 years at the rate of 3 pixels lost per day for the image to disappear -- an eternity in internet time.
