Week 8 Studio: Choosing your artifact

Committing to the game or artifact you'll spend the rest of the semester recovering, with a tutor sanity-checking the choice

26 April 2027

Before the studio

Come with two or three candidate artifacts, not just one — the studio time today is partly about ruling weaker candidates out.

In the studio

For each candidate, you’ll check it against week 1’s definition, confirm at least one surviving source actually exists for it, and get a tutor’s read on whether it’s scoped realistically for the weeks remaining. You leave with one committed choice.

Afterwards

This choice is what weeks 9–12 and the Recovery Exhibit are built on. Changing it later costs real time, so raise doubts today rather than in week 10.

The spec

What you bring to the session. Written so a reader can tell whether it has been met without asking you.
