The Gallery of Babel

If you can imagine it, it's here.

Every picture that can be made from 64 × 64 pixels in 4,096 colours already hangs somewhere in these halls: your face, tomorrow's weather map, a painting no one has painted yet. Almost all of it is static. Wander the walls, or bring an image and the catalogue will tell you exactly where it has always been hanging.

Wing

Each wing holds every picture at its size. Pictures you bring or paint are redrawn sharper when you move to a bigger wing; anything else takes you to a random plate there.

Step to the next plate on the shelf, or open a door into a random hexagon. Neighbouring plates have nothing in common; that is how a gallery of everything has to be arranged.
