The climb
The original interactive version of this site: one scroll from night into day, a Wanderer, and a Phoenix. The June 2026 release, kept as it shipped.
Optional. About 7 MB loads only when you enter; nothing of it loads on this page.
The first version of this site: one continuous scroll, a traveler walking from night into day, and a Phoenix near the end. It is the June 2026 scene ported into this site: the same models, camera, and beats, the video plates re-encoded, and the words as shipped. Press the button to load it; the home page is fast because nothing here downloads until you ask. Scroll to walk; the cursor steers the firebird near the summit; two of the original camp cards link to project pages and the three concept worlds say so plainly.
The original 3D experience loads on request (about 7 MB: two models and four short video plates) and runs here.

The frozen original also lives at v1.khaylub.com, and the story of how it was preserved is in Preserving V1. What the port keeps and what it leaves out is recorded in the exhibit entry.
