Colophon

This archive is developed with Wax, a minimal computing project for producing digital exhibitions focused on longevity, low costs, and flexibility.

The site is prepared as a Jekyll web application. It has dynamic components (for example, selecting a subset of posts for the front page). The site is currently housed on GitHub.

The site consists of a Jekyll repository that includes: markdown files for content, templates for HTML layout, CSS and JS files, media files including videos, images and PDFs that correspond to the artists experiences in the Leonardo CripTech Incubator

The site is typeset in Atkinson Hyperlegible by the Braille Institute. This font is free to use, is nd designed to “focuses on letterform distinction to increase character recognition, ultimately improving readability” and emphasizes readability for low vision users.

For audio and video playback, this site uses AblePlayer - ‘a fully accessible cross-browser HTML5 media player.’

For image and document viewing, we use Clover IIIF. Clover is a set of UI approaches for the International Image Interoperability Framework but with a focus on on accessibility in the tools it prepares.

We use DataTables to allow exploration of the data and provide downloadable CSVs and JSON manifests of collection metadata.
