Field notes
The homepage groups exhibits under Mechanics, Digital, and Artificial intelligence, and says each is a model visitors can slide, press, or drag. The QR generator takes a link and returns SVG or PNG; the page says the encoded link does not expire and scans are not counted. The token exhibit lets visitors paste text and compare its token cost across 23 languages, with Greek described as costing more than twice as much as English.
