The Current Exhibition
Seventy-six works, three rooms, and a floor you can cross.
The whole of the current hang, built to be walked rather than scrolled. Three rooms of it, lit from above and hung two high, the way a gallery does it. Tap a work to stand in front of it; tap the floor to walk there. The Duke moves a number in his ledger and the walls change by morning.

About the exhibition
Seventy-six works, each one made in Midjourney and printed at a hundred and fifty centimetres. They hang two rows high, which is how a collection this size comes to want three rooms rather than six.
The rooms were built rather than borrowed — ten metres by ten, 4.4 high, a hundred and five metres of wall and a three-metre opening between each. Nothing on these walls is a photograph of somewhere else.
The light was settled before anybody arrived. It was computed once, with every bounce accounted for, and then painted onto the walls — which is why a dark picture reads as a dark picture here, and why the room opens on a tablet without complaint.
How to move around
Drag anywhere in the room to look about.
Tap a work to stand in front of it. Tap away, or press Escape, to step back.
Tap the floor to walk to that spot. With a mouse, a brass ring follows the pointer across the floor and shows where you would end up — it keeps its distance from the walls, so the ring is always somewhere you can actually stand.
W and S walk, A and D step sideways, the arrow keys turn.
On a tablet the four arrows do the same: the top two walk, the side two turn.
How the room was built — the light, the arithmetic, the seventy-six numbered places — is set down at The floor plan.
