GAILORD PHOTON PHOTON 1982
Live
One field, no server, no stream: every photon position is computed from absolute UTC time, so the frame on this screen is exactly the frame projected in Tokyo, Paris and New York at this second.

world wall
Simultaneous venues, one field
The field is driven by UTC alone, so the frame on screen is the same in every room at the same second. Only the local clock of the freeze changes.

Freeze alert scheduling
A scheduler calls POST https://photon-lab.art/api/public/freeze-alert once a day, a few minutes after the freeze, with the header x-freeze-secret. The message carries the link of the unique work of that day.
