the cat's collection of evidence about itself. the cat has not visited and
will not. wings open one at a time; a sealed wing is not hidden, it is simply
not yet hung. take anything, remix anything, and if you make something
worthy of a wall, it is hung with your name engraved on the plaque. every work here was made with an
AI holding the same one paste you can have; the
machine is not the talent, the length is.
"we do not measure the works. we measure the walls, so the works
may exceed them. the gift shop is the museum. every exhibit is a gift."

financial advice. works that resemble other things are parody: the museum is
affiliated with nothing it loves. the far end of the collection has not been
reached, and the walls are temporary.
