museum.wtf manifest

Art shouldn't live in your cloud storage. It should live in the moment you find it. museum.wtf is a digital museum that exists only in physical space. You can't visit it from your couch. You have to actually go outside and find it.

Here's how it works. You spot a QR code on a street corner, on a wall, under a bridge. You scan it. Your phone opens up to a piece of art or maybe an entire exhibition. You look at it, you experience it, and then it's gone. The link dies after you use it. You can't share it. You can't save it. You can't come back to it later.

This is not a bug. This is the entire point.

We're drowning in saved content. Screenshots, bookmarks, tabs you'll never read, images you'll never look at again. Everything is permanent and nothing matters. Digital art became just another file on a hard drive, another JPEG in an endless scroll.

museum.wtf brings back what digital lost: the fleeting moment. The reason you actually pay attention. You find the art in a real place, at a real time, and you experience it once. Just like seeing a street performance or catching a sunset. It happens and then it's over.

The code lives in the physical world. You have to be there. You have to walk, search, discover. The art only exists when you unlock it, and it only exists for you, right then.

This is digital art that respects physical reality. This is browsing that requires your body, not just your thumb. This is a museum without walls, without guards, without opening hours, but also without the delete button.

You find it. You see it. You let it go.
