Five official originals inspected: 0 coarse pastel cyan/grey grid with black Z; 1 muted mauve/grey dark grid with black bent Z; 10 fine multicoloured mesh and spiky dark rosette; 20 warm yellow/coral broad grid and left-cropped X; 65 fine cyan/red mesh and large black ellipse/ring with light inner oval. Observations are moments, not fixed portraits.
Follow-up 2026-09-18: fresh original65 opened; F/R/M toggled together, C produced centered still oval. B visibly returned oval left. Separate switches not individually benchmarked; arrow and Space handlers inspected but not functionally tested. No audio.
Primary collection, CCBYNCND4 deed and p5 1.0.0 LGPL2.1 document accessed. Artist website certificate expired; not bypassed. No project interview/prototype established. Draft written with seven sections, direct citations and historical gaps.
