<strong>Mechanism:</strong> A 4-brick sequence representing atomic data units.</p>

<h2 class="caps">/// [03] INTERMEDIA CONTAINMENT</h2>
<p>Red Amulet is an experimental research studio positioned at the intersection of computer science and intermedia art. We operate as a commercial entity to sustain a non-commercial vision: <strong>The liberation of Artificial Intelligence from utility.</strong></p>

<h3 class="caps">Fluxus & Code</h3>
<p>In the 1960s, Fluxus artists developed "Event Scores"—simple text instructions that could be performed by anyone.</p>
<p>In the 2020s, the Event Score is Code. Simple text instructions that can be written by anyone.</p>

<h3 class="caps">Friction Over Function</h3>
<p>We value Hallucination. A model that lies is a model that creates.<br>
We value Latency. The pause before speaking is where "thinking" is simulated.<br>
We value Bias. Bias is not harm. Bias is playful opinion.</p>
