- Rights status
- Art Blocks metadata reports CC BY-NC 4.0.
- Live-work status
- Live audiovisual work requiring user gesture for audio.
- Generator
- Art Blocks generator; Tone.js 14.8.15; three project scripts; 32,352 source bytes reported.
- Dependencies
- No external asset dependency was identified in the official project record. Audio output depends on the Web Audio environment.
- Interactive controls
- The official source binds a mouse-down action. The precise sonic state change has not yet been independently characterized.
- Tested runtime
- Official source, Tone.js dependency, and gesture binding inspected. Independent browser, audio-device, and autoplay-policy testing is not yet complete.
- Display instructions
- Use a square live viewport with audio output enabled. Initiate with a user gesture and state clearly if the work is shown silently.
- Official media
- Official reference still
- Official media checksum
- fc986f187c7687d2cf3b705333e739fbcd704c80490f0b15c2b61e418e295e2b
- Project script checksum
- 66f812f4bb4d5a702c0975ef67cb2f345b62c74d2788e39c1b9266a322afce3f
- Retained-media status
- Not yet retained by AB5D. Official bytes were observed and checksummed at the research cutoff.
- Known preservation risks
- Audio behavior depends on Tone.js 14.8.15, Web Audio support, autoplay policy, gesture handling, and functioning playback hardware.
Interpretation
Preserving the visual frame without its user-triggered sound would preserve only part of the work's observable system.
