flux.vision, tobias.raayoni-last.com and randogoth.com. They were one site until October 2026, serving four audiences from a single dated list, which is the only format that can hold unrelated things at once. flux.vision is recovered from the Wayback Machine, where it had sat since being deleted in 2021: 90 articles, closed and maintained rather than updated. tobias.raayoni-last.com is the professional record, 97 articles back to 1999. randogoth.com is the technical work, 41 articles across six areas, served as an ANSI bulletin board. History starts here deliberately. The development history, the 266-row inventory that records why each article went where it did, the Wayback pipelines, the pruned articles, the source archives and the full-size images are kept beside the repo rather than in it, so a clone is the web presence and not the argument that produced it. REFACTOR.md is gitignored for the same reason. See README.md for where that material lives, and keep it: the sort is not reproducible from these three directories alone. Each site documents itself in its own README, including the traps that cost time and look like nothing when you get them wrong.

Title: 10 Years Clujotronic Date: 2021-10-03 Category: installation Slug: clujotronic-2021 Thumb: /library/clujotronic-2021.jpg Background: /library/clujotronic-2021.jpg For: Institutul Francez & Centrul Cultural German Cluj-Napoca https://institutfrancais.ro/cluj-napoca/ With: Alex Halka, Matthieu Tercieux Summary: Infected Hardware, an interactive AV mapping piece built with Alex Halka and Matthieu Tercieux for the festival's tenth anniversary.
For its tenth edition Clujotronic brought back three artists from the festival's own history: Alex Halka from Romania, Matthieu Tercieux from France, and myself. The brief was open, which is to say there was not one. We were asked to make something together that none of us would have made alone.
What came out of it was Infected Hardware, an interactive audiovisual mapping piece in the courtyard of the Cluj Art Museum. For three evenings the courtyard worked as an experimental laboratory rather than a stage: the facade carried the projection, the audience could act on it, and the three of us ran it live.
"Three of the artists who shaped the festival's history, Alex Halka (RO), Kiritan Flux (DE) and Matthieu Tercieux (FR), answered the challenge of creating an original interactive digital art project together. That is how Infected Hardware came about."
That is the organisers' own description, translated from the Romanian, and it is fairly close to how it felt.
I had played Clujotronic in 2014, 2015 and 2016, every time with Alex. The festival has a habit of putting people in a room to see what happens, which is how the first of those started: 48 hours to build an audiovisual set with a musician I had never met. Ten years on, the method had not changed.
