A bilingual archive platform for viewing and preserving student exhibitions, with records of works, 3D scans, photographs, texts, and video.

Why it surfaced

Sou / Layer already indexes exhibitions from Musashino Art University, including one with 15 works, 11 3D scans, and 77 photographs. Its quiet manifesto is unusually clear: the archive is not-for-profit, intended to last semi-permanently, and keeps raw data untouched while leaving licensing decisions to contributors.
