hi, i’m mrinal ヾ(◍°∇°◍)ﾉﾞ♪. this is a field of captioned images pulled from Wikipedia, that you can travel omnidirectionally through.

i was fully inspired by chaski, who has been collecting these in their are.na channel wiki poetics since 2021 (!!!). i came across their content on TikTok, where the community’s comments about Wikipedia as a documentation of our life on Earth and our shared experiences doubly inspired me.

as i collect, i find myself thinking more deeply and eager to learn more about what i interact with. it reminds me to appreciate the beauty in the ordinary, the niche, the unique, the silly. i wanted to create a navigable space that encouraged visitors to slow down and look around, just as i did.
