Web Gallery

awalkaday 42-2022

Once the art project was resumed in the spring of 2021, a limited number of the salvaged photos began to be steadily uploaded to a purpose-built web gallery, awalkaday.art, which ultimately hosts a catalog of 263 photographs from the collection in a custom-designed, interactive and responsive gallery.

The web gallery prioritizes a smooth and random order of display for each visit, allowing for ease of navigation and discovery of photographs by surprising visitors with fresh-eye perspectives every load time. The gallery’s code enforcing mathematical randomness in JavaScript dates from February 2023.

``` ```js // Main. var $main = $('#main'); // Thumbs. $main.children('.thumb').each(function() { var $this = $(this), $image = $this.find('.image'), $image_img = $image.children('img'), randomPos; // Set random background position. randomPos = Math.floor(Math.random() 100); $image.css('background-position', `${randomPos}%`); // Shuffle the elements. $main.children('.thumb').sort(function() { return Math.random() - 0.5; }).appendTo($main); ``` ``` A 3D exhibition hall, constructed since the springtime of 2023, welcomes all digital visitors at [oncyber.io/awalkaday.art](https://oncyber.io/awalkaday.art). The virtual exhibition, which caught the attention of silicon-based reality promoters at launch in the spring of 2024, remains open to this day.
