The world's cultural archives are open and keyless — so here they are, made interactive: paintings retrieved by hue, a library shelved from real covers, a found-poem machine stitching lines from a thousand poems, words drawn as a semantic web, a dictionary that speaks, a wall of album art, and a screening room of episode ratings.
Type a word and wander an ever-branching, force-directed graph of language drawn live from the thesaurus.
A TV show's whole run as a season-by-episode heatmap — every cell a rating, so the soaring seasons and the slumps light up at a glance.
Search any subject and watch a library shelve itself — every book a deterministic clothbound spine you pull to reveal its real cover.
A dictionary that speaks: look up a word and get a typographic entry page — phonetics you can hear, meanings by part of speech, and synonyms you click to wander the language.
Search any artist, album or song and get a wall of high-res cover art you can play.
Pick a hue and watch a world-class museum collection rearrange itself — paintings retrieved by colour, nearest tone first.
Scrub a timeline across four thousand years and watch a great museum rehang itself — open-access masterworks from the era under the needle.
A found-poem machine that stitches a brand-new poem from single lines drawn out of a dozen real, randomly-summoned poems.
