# flux.vision, Kiritan Flux

The VJ and media-art career, 2003-2021, under the name **Kiritan Flux**. A closed body of work:
maintained, not updated. See `REFACTOR.md` §B in the working material.

Recovered from the Wayback Machine, since no local copy survived (checked and ruled out on the
`cargo` backup SSD). 89 articles and 232 images are in; the date-bounded CDX query and the
`curl -sL` gotcha are documented in `REFACTOR.md` §B.

Only the media-arts half lives here. Client and commercial credits went to
`../tobias.raayoni-last.com/`.

## Building

```sh
uv run --quiet --with pelican --with markdown -- pelican content -o output -s pelicanconf.py
```

`pelicanconf.py` reproduces the original URL scheme exactly, so archived and inbound links resolve
rather than 404: flat `{slug}.html` articles, `/section/`, `/tag/`, `/info/`.

## Sections

veejay 28 · performance 18 · installation 18 · blog 15 · curation 9 · sound 1

`blog` is excluded from the work listings (`WORK_EXCLUDE`) and has its own nav item, because those
entries are reports and essays rather than engagements.

`kiritanflux.md` publishes as `/signing-off.html`, since Pelican derives the slug from the title.
It is the closing post and carries the full 114-entry gig history, 2003 to 2021, across 11
countries.

## Plugins

| Plugin | Does |
|---|---|
| `tileweight.py` | sizes each timeline tile from the entry itself: images, video, word count |
| `lostimages.py` | drops `<img>` and wrapping links whose file did not survive, leaving a comment naming it |
| `assetcheck.py` | flags `Thumb:`/`Background:` whose file is missing, so templates render a typographic card |

`assetcheck.py` is shared from `../tobias.raayoni-last.com/plugins/`.

## What did not survive

78 images are gone for good and Wayback holds no capture of them: 15 camera originals on an offline
drive, 16 client logos, 21 `Bild-NN.png` screenshots, and the rest one-offs. The Markdown keeps the
original references, because the reference records what was there. 19 tiles therefore show static
rather than a thumbnail, and 22 in-article images are stripped at build time.

`content/images/` is empty, so anything referencing `/images/` is among the losses.

## Theme notes

Three layout traps, all of which fail silently:

- The gutter must not use `vw`. `overflow-y: scroll` always shows a scrollbar, `vw` counts it, and
  anything full-bleed then overflows by the scrollbar width and the page scrolls sideways.
- Direct children of `.container` must set padding with the `-top`/`-bottom` longhand. A `padding:`
  shorthand has the same specificity as the gutter rule and comes later in the file, so it resets
  the gutter to zero and text sits flush against the screen edge.
- The nav panel occupies one corner, so it gets a lane on one side only. Symmetric gutters large
  enough for the panel crush the column at tablet widths.
