lacma-2026: 'play the room' for Demo Day + AC Blank cohort laptops + budget.pdf
Two related changes for the submission:
1. "Play the room" replaces the placeholder "open the gallery" / "fork
the stack" across the budget, proposal, landing page, and
Submittable implementation-plan chart. Pairs with "boot the cohort"
as inside→outside: the cohort boots its laptops in 2027; the
gallery and the cohort play the room together in 2028. "Play"
carries the musicking / choralling / jamming / inventing /
hacking-together vibe without the codery "fork" connotation.
2. New dedicated budget.tex → budget.pdf artifact (2 pages, 21 KB).
Page 1 itemized line items with totals, page 2 milestones and
disbursement by phase. The file is what uploads to Submittable's
"Detailed project budget" slot (separate from the main proposal
PDF).
Budget rebalance: the old "Installation laptops (5 × $400 refurbished)
$2,000" line becomes "AC Blank laptops (5 installation + 7 cohort ×
$128 preloaded with AC Native, incl. shipping) $2,000" — same dollar
amount, 12 laptops instead of 5, every cohort artist (5 open-call + 2
invitational per the call) gets an AC Native-preloaded Blank to take
home. Ties the "boot the cohort" promise directly to the hardware.
Cascaded through:
- grants/lacma-2026/lacma-2026.tex (main proposal source)
- grants/lacma-2026/LACMA-2026-APPLICATION-DRAFT.md (Submittable
copy-paste source)
- grants/lacma-2026/lacma-2026.pdf (recompiled)
- grants/lacma-2026/budget.tex + budget.pdf (new)
- system/public/lacma-2026/index.html (Calendar section, Budget
section, Application-at-a-Glance Timeline dd, Pitch section,
Submission-Form Version)
- system/public/lacma-2026/lacma-2026.pdf (mirrored from grants/)
Submittable app updated separately: implementation-plan chart row 5
(Fall 2028) now reads with "We play the room." Budget.pdf will
upload into the "Detailed project budget" slot.

<p>Five years of work on the website (19,000+ git commits, 17,000+ KidLisp programs, 2,800+ handles) gives us a platform that already breathes. Two months on AC Native (kernel prototype landed February 2026) give us a kernel, a shutdown strobe, a native <code>code</code> command, and a first public capture. The grant turns that kernel into something a museum and a classroom can run. Over 24 months we expand AC Native compatibility from one laptop to five, build a multi-piece boot menu, design a 3-level KidLisp workshop curriculum (the card format Casey and Lauren used at UCLA, translated EN + ES), harden kiosk mode, press 20+ USB drives for take-home, and ship v1.0 of the open-source build pipeline so any institution can stand up the same rig.</p>

<p><em>Aesthetic Computer: Personal Computers Are Not Done Yet.</em> The 1980s personal computing scene promised a computer that belonged to you; platform consolidation cut it short. AC bets a second scene is starting, with tools powerful enough to go both wider and deeper than the first.</p>

<p><strong>AC Native</strong> is a Linux kernel that boots directly into art on x86_64 UEFI laptops, running a custom C runtime as PID 1, with no desktop, no window manager, no browser. 32-voice audio at 192 kHz, DRM graphics, raw evdev input. A built-in <code>code</code> command drops into a terminal running Anthropic's Claude Code, so artists can ask an AI coding partner to modify a piece without leaving the OS. The default piece is <em>notepat</em>, an 8,466-line polyphonic instrument.</p>

<p><strong>KidLisp</strong> is a minimal Lisp with 118 functions. 17,000+ programs already written. Programs can be minted on Tezos without artists touching blockchain infrastructure.</p>
