The workbench

Three working studies: a moving object, a living shell, and a gallery.

PROJECTS / THE WORKBENCH

These are the studies currently built into Trove. They describe this place,
not a portfolio of client work or a history of finished commissions.

01  AN OBJECT MADE OF TEXT
    Light and depth become a grid of characters. Each fresh session chooses
    an opening model at random from seven forms. Rotation makes a flat
    screen feel like a small window into space.

    With automatic changes enabled, /home selects a house and gallery
    folders select a camera. Choose a model yourself to keep it until a
    fresh session or until you re-enable automatic changes in Display.

    Try: ocean models
         ocean speed 0.5

02  A ROOM INSIDE THE BROWSER
    The terminal runs a real 32-bit Alpine Linux guest through v86. Bash,
    nano, processes, pipelines, and packages work inside its temporary memory.
    A second visitor gets a different machine. A fresh session starts clean.

    Try: printf 'light\nwater\nsignal\n' | sort
         mkdir -p ~/scratch
         nano ~/scratch/note.txt

03  A COLLECTION WITH A SHELL SCRIPT
    Each gallery is a folder of images and a small JSON manifest. Its show.sh
    script asks the surrounding display to open that manifest. A collection
    can be copied, edited, and run again without leaving the shell.

    Try: bash /site/galleries/orbital/show.sh

These pieces are a starting vocabulary. Future work can grow here without
needing to turn every experiment into a finished product. For now, the useful
thing is a place to make a change, observe it, and begin again.
