MEMORIA 028
===========
Author: Mikael Syksy
Category: AI Coding
Runtime: 3:00
PLAYBACK
--------
MEMORIA 028 is a real-time Windows x64 production built with JavaScript,
WebGL2, Web Audio and Electron.
For the competition presentation, MEMORIA.mp4 is the authoritative 1920x1080,
60 fps playback with its final audio master.
MEMORIA.exe contains the real-time executable for verification. It requires
hardware-accelerated WebGL2 and is intended for a 1920x1080 display. Press

AI USAGE
--------
MEMORIA 028 was created through extensive, directed collaboration with several
AI systems. It was not produced with a single prompt.
Mikael Syksy originated the concept and visual language. He precisely directed
every development session through detailed briefs, technical and artistic
constraints, and repeated visual and auditory critique. AI outputs were
continuously evaluated, rejected, corrected and refined--often through hours of
closely guided iteration. Mikael selected the final material and made all
creative and editorial decisions.
Most implementation code was produced and iteratively revised with AI coding
agents under this direction.
Except for the early Claude Sonnet 4.5 collaboration described below, all
Anthropic Claude contributions were made through Claude Code (CLI).
Tools and contributions:
- Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.5, accessed through a custom API client built by
Mikael: Served as an early conversational and creative-development partner
while Mikael formed and extensively directed the initial concept, before the
formal specification or implementation began.
- Anthropic Claude Fable 5: Co-developed the original design specification and
implementation plan. Built much of the foundational system, including
deterministic timing and randomness, the WebGL2 glyph and print renderer,
simulation architecture, early collapse mechanics, capture tooling and
application scaffolding. Later designed the successful colour-transition
reconstruction and directed its implementation through Claude Sonnet 5
subagents.
- Anthropic Claude Sonnet 5: Implemented portions of the colour-transition
simulation redesign under Claude Fable's direction.
- Anthropic Claude Opus 5: Revised the design documentation and contributed to
later implementation, programme, renderer and visual-development iterations.
- Anthropic Claude Opus 4.6: Contributed during one later implementation and
polish session.
- xAI Grok 4.5, through Grok Build: Developed the original procedural sound
engine and initial 180-second audio programme. Its contribution was confined
to audio. The score is synthesized with Web Audio rather than assembled from
recorded samples.
- Google Gemini Pro 3.1 and Gemini Flash 3.6, through Antigravity: Produced an
exploratory visual-direction study and shot list. This work was reviewed and
revised extensively before implementation.
- OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol, through Codex: Repaired and consolidated the evolving
specification; contributed critical review, implementation and final
integration; developed and polished the six-universe performance structure,
visual transitions, colour integration, roll call and ending; synchronized
and retuned the sound against the completed piece; and handled testing,
deterministic capture, executable packaging, video encoding and delivery QA.
