A fine-art pigment print (a human-directed generative AI work, edition #1/18) sealed inside a custom-engineered microclimate frame and installed 20 June 2026 in a deliberately hostile environment: a bar on a Singapore quay. Equatorial heat, 80%+ humidity, monsoon swings, high temperatures and UV, salt air.
Inside the sealed frame, a Testo “160 THE” logs the four forces that destroy prints — temperature, RH, UV irradiance, and illuminance — full data set every 30 minutes to a public live dashboard tracking cumulative photon dose, threshold-exceedance “stress hours,” and drift against Singapore climate data; also monitored live and recorded.
The experiment runs three tiers: the sealed Subject, an open-air Control Postcard as early warning, and a dark-stored Reference Baseline for ΔE colour-shift measurement. Tracked across monsoon seasons and years, it may become one of the longest continuously monitored external art conservation field records in the tropics.
