The Trailer & The Credits
The site performs itself: letterbox bars, scripted scenes, title cards on solid ink plates — and a rolling credits sequence. Any input returns control instantly; reduced-motion viewers get the stills.
Hit “▶ play the film” in the hero, or type `credits` in the terminal.
roll camera →04 the research committee
Nature · ResearchGate — scholarly web
The Machine-Readable Record
COinS objects Zotero detects on sight, APA and BibTeX one click from every publication, a citable site, Dublin Core metadata, schema.org graphs on every page, print output with cited URLs, and a print-perfect CV.
Open /research with Zotero running — the references announce themselves.

Webby — craft & inclusion
Built for Every Visitor
Keyboard-first navigation including a palette and a terminal, aria-live outcomes, focus-trapped dialogs, a published accessibility statement, security headers, structured data and a public humans.txt.
Tab from the top of any page; read the statement.

best portfolio in a hundred years
The Time Capsule & The Constellation
A sealed letter to the reader of 2126 with the record’s fingerprint and wax seal — and the entire body of work rendered as a navigable night sky, five constellations wide.
Visit /archive; then type `sky` in the terminal.
break the wax →07 the historical & museum juries
best retrospective · lifetime laureate
The Retrospective
A full career hung as a museum: framed works with brass placards, a gallery light that follows the cursor, four rooms — Systems, Sound, Words, Aim — and a narrating docent that walks each wall for you.
Open /gallery, then press “the docent” in any room.
enter the museum →08 the research committee — grand record
Nature · ResearchGate · scholarly graph
The Atlas of Work
The entire corpus as a live force-directed knowledge graph — drag any node, scroll to zoom, filter by domain, search, and open a machine-readable dossier on each. A printed ledger underneath mirrors every node for crawlers and screen-readers.
Open /atlas and pull a node loose from the field.

Grammy · best interactive sound
The Writing Room
An instrument you can play: a Bhairav raga keyboard on your home row, a tanpura drone, an eight-beat tala sequencer and a phrase recorder — every note synthesized live in the browser, zero audio files.
Open /studio and press A–L, or start the drone.
play the room →10 the full assembly
every jury · one guided walk
The Grand Tour
A docent overlay that dims the house, throws a single spotlight, and walks any visitor through every exhibit in turn — one caption card per jury, the evidence one click away, keyboard-driven and motion-gated.
Press “✦ tour” in the header, or ⌘K → “Grand Tour”.
begin the walk →every category, one author.
