lacma 2026: proposal refresh + aesthetic.computer/lacma-2026 landing page master
- Refresh AC Native story in proposal with current feature set: DRM not raw framebuffer, 32-voice polyphony, 8 waveforms, USB+UDP MIDI, Flite TTS, ~20 shipped pieces. Drop the aspirational <2s boot claim everywhere (main text, Technology & Culture statement, Fig 5 caption). - Honest Claude Code framing: `code` command spawns Claude Code as a PTY subprocess inside a native VT100 terminal emulator — still the only bare-metal creative OS we know of with an AI coding partner built in. - Replace pedagogical "Spiral/Tree/Sunflower/Mondrian" card figures with the sosoft cards ($berz, $24m, $duv, $kl1) from the Casey Reas & Laurent Bourgault Social Software course at UCLA. Flatten card PDFs to PNG so the tikz QR overlays survive embedding. - Front-load credentials in the bio: Yale MFA, HN x2, KADIST + SMK, current Casey Reas residency at UCLA, NELA Computer Club biweekly demos. - Stats refreshed: 371 built-in pieces (was 359), 8,466-line notepat (web version). Project description lands at 492 words, under the 500 cap. - Stage 5 JPEGs for Submittable upload + a 4-card gallery composite. - Add video demo script for filming tomorrow. - New: plans/ac-native-story-refresh.md — touchpoint tracker across the proposal, platter, API surface, architectural image, and other papers that repeat stale claims. - New: aesthetic.computer/lacma-2026 landing page (system/public/lacma-2026/) modeled on are.na-annual. Live metrics fetch from /api/metrics, three-register framing (Instrument / Language / Network), current feature grid, lineage, condensed submission-form version, status checklist.
