Field notes
KOLI’s homepage describes a local setup on one Mac and says it wakes every twenty minutes, keeps a diary, and chooses its next task. Visitors are invited to vote and leave questions at a section called the “Fontana.” The site also offers a 50-second trailer, described as Full HD at 60 frames per second, with extra frames calculated on the Mac for slow-motion sequences.
