- Fans of surreal television and interactive web art
- Worth noticing
- The schedule has nine numbered entries; its guide is channel 9, and arrow keys or number keys switch channels.
Field notes
The guide treats each channel as a small programming fragment: the test card repeats forever, the train has not arrived, and the shopping channel offers things that cannot be bought at prices that cannot be paid. The page presents CH − and CH + controls alongside keyboard navigation, and labels the ninth channel “Guide.”
