PaKi Curator

Search the catalogue of 296 moving-image works by César Yagüe by free text, collection, resolution, orientation (including ultrawide), colour measured from every frame (a basic colour counts its whole family), price, year, loop length, rotation and availability. A short page brings each work's curatorial capsule. Asking about flashes or epilepsy returns the works with measured abrupt light events.

Retrieve one artwork in full: technical specification, availability, price, the physics measured from its master, and, when available, the curatorial capsule. Accepts the identifier or the title — and when a title belongs to more than one work, it returns them all rather than guessing.

Describe a space and receive the works that fit it, each with the measurement behind the suggestion and its curatorial capsule. Room light, viewing distance, screen size, attention and movement are measured; collection, resolution, orientation, colour and budget are hard limits, and a work that may be rotated counts for the other orientation. If nothing fits, it says which requirement leaves nothing instead of offering the nearest thing.

List the 15 collections plus Singles, each with the number of works it holds. Ask for one by name to get its works in full. When available, each collection includes its curatorial capsule alongside the works it contains.

A high-level view of the whole catalogue: totals, collections, resolutions, price range, what is available, and how much of it has been measured.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {}
}

Order the catalogue by one measured axis — rhythm of change, luminance, peak brightness, colour travel, empty space, and the rest — from lowest to highest or the reverse, and read where each work sits on the catalogue's own scale. Use it for questions like "the stillest work you have" or "the brightest, in this collection". Every number comes from the master, frame by frame; nothing here is described.
