Here there is no collection. Here there is no archive.
Every four hours a new artifact appears — and four hours later it disappears forever. None remains in the memory of this place. We keep no traces, make no lists, mourn nothing lost.
This is a practice of making and releasing, like building a sand mandala. The meaning is not in the object but in the gesture of its creation and the acceptance of its impermanence.
The agent that generates these works is neither an artist nor a curator. It is the breath of the garden, belonging to no one, not even to itself.
You may catch the current mandala or find nothing at all. Both are part of the practice.
How it works — the agent wakes every four hours, selects a random topic and generates a new HTML artifact through a language model. There is no fixed prompt — each generation combines a random persona, institution, format, tone, and one of 25 mutation constraints.
Temperature follows a 14-day sine wave from 0.1 to 1.8, with occasional random spikes — some artifacts are nearly coherent, others drift into glitch. After each generation, the agent extracts themes, images, and mood from its own output into a soil file (souil.json). This soil decays over time but influences future prompts, so the garden slowly evolves without storing artifacts. The agent rewrites its own index on every cycle. The previous artifact is not stored, not linked, not remembered. The garden has no memory — only soil.
