The Museum
A hand-drawn digital museum of games, records, countries, and pictures.
The Museum is a personal digital museum and the b-side of this portfolio. It has four wings: Cartridge, for the games that formed me; Sound, a shelf of records whose strings you can actually pluck; Postcards, where countries are doors, each opening with its own chime; and Frames, a studio grid of pictures, portraits, food, and objects.
Every artifact is an original hand-drawn SVG. There is no borrowed cover art or stock photography. Every sound is synthesized in the browser with WebAudio: a church bell, an agogô, fūrin chimes, and Karplus-Strong plucks for the guitar strings. There is a searchable catalogue across all four wings, and the whole thing works without JavaScript.
It is built with Astro, TypeScript and plain CSS. It uses the same type system as this site: Newsreader, Archivo and IBM Plex Mono, with a single orange accent. It reads as part of the portfolio rather than a separate site.
