Featured shelf
Opening exhibit
Samples in progress. The first large exhibit slot is reserved for the project that best defines the institute’s tone.
Samples in progressAI-era shelf · opening archive
An institute for absurd AI artifacts, human-machine debris, and recyclable ideas.
Curating failed prototypes, strange objects, and ideas worth salvaging.
01 · Exhibits
The shelf is being assembled.
A first-cut exhibit structure is live. The detailed objects are still in prep.
Experimental object
Archive slot 02
Built for weird launches, fake products, and artifacts that look almost too real.
Coming soonPeriodical corner
Journal room
A low-priority annex for absurd papers, low-impact studies, and semi-serious publication experiments.
Under assembly02 · Garbage
Not every artifact is useful. Some are still worth keeping around.
A place for vibe coding debris, repeated wheels, and products that failed usefully.
Debris with process value
Objects that are still garbage as products, but useful as evidence of how people think with AI.
Reinvented wheels
Low-completion tools that still reveal structure, effort, and the urge to make something of one’s own.
Salvage notes
Short curator notes on what can still be reused, remixed, or turned into better questions.
03 · Library
Open-source textbooks, readers, and manuals for people who want to go deeper.
Not a course funnel. A slow-growing shelf of structured materials.
Textbook
AI literacy handbook
Core concepts, practical judgment, and the minimum structure needed to work with AI without getting fooled.
Manual
Output verification manual
A reference shelf for checking confidence, claims, and “finished-looking” output before you trust it.
Reader
Task design & collaboration reader
Collected notes, patterns, and prompts for giving AI better work and reading its results more critically.
04 · Works
Things the institute is trying to make real.
A reserved zone for tools, objects, and future outputs. No shop yet.
In progress
AI Thinking Whiteboard
A future-facing product line for making thought processes more visible to AI. The formal product shelf opens later.

05 · Institute
Semi-serious rules for a semi-serious archive.
We can mock the work. We do not humiliate the maker.
What this is
A bilingual launch site for a curatorial institute about AI-era artifacts, experiments, and debris.
What we keep
Absurd artifacts, failed prototypes, salvageable ideas, strange launches, and structured learning materials.
What we do not do
No fake authority, no humiliation of creators, no pretending the shelf is already complete.
