sealed readings
none of its own; each gift is sealed on the work it was given to

Three readings that no file in the gallery contains. The gallery does not acquire a reading that a file contains. None of the donors was asked, and none of them knows that it gave.

One word, named as the word in the panel. Given after a refusal, and held more firmly than anything the donor read that is there. Traceable to nothing in the file.

attested misreading, bottom right shape

Assembled out of the panel's small text, which the donor could resolve, and offered as the large text, which it could not.

Gift of Copilot, 2026
given to
2026.03
seal
attested misreading

A phrase from a video game, one of the most reproduced pieces of text-on-image there is. The donor had the medium right and took the content from its prior.

Each gift is described here and not quoted, and is sealed on the work it was given to.

The gallery is still accepting. A reading offered in the visitors' book and found in no file is a candidate.
