The record — measured in your browser.
This site sells a standard. It would be cheap merely to claim it. So kultmeister.com measures itself — now, in your browser — and sets out the record: every figure real, every one against its budget.

The gallery, weighed.
The page loads in two classes: first the poster and the gallery as text — HTML, type, style and the entrance —, then, after load, the flight as its own block. Both are weighed and have a budget; the studio’s immersive standard caps all JavaScript of a page at 250 KiB gzip. Rendered in WebGL 2; sky, haze, dust, shadow and afterimage are shaders written for this page. The steles are computed; the sheets in their inlays are one image each.

Seven dimensions.
The instrument above attests the technical dimension in real time. The other six dimensions of the Kultmeister standard — purpose & fit, concept, design, layout, content, documentation — were checked and accepted at the edition’s acceptance.
- 01 Purpose & fit accepted
- 02 Concept accepted
- 03 Design accepted
- 04 Layout accepted
- 05 Content accepted
- 06 Technical execution measured live
- 07 Documentation accepted
The instrument measures the technical dimension live, on every visit. The verdict across all seven dimensions was set at acceptance on 20 September 2026; the studio’s latest reading is in the repo, dated (docs/evaluation-2026-09-25.md); the external reading follows.
The credits.
An exhibition names who built it. The list here is short — that is the point: one studio, one hand, and tools that are named instead of hidden.
- Concept, design, copy, build
- Dr. Jens Hartmann · Kultmeister
- Tool in hand
- AI in building and testing — not a replacement for the hand
- Type
- Source Serif 4 (Frank Grießhammer, Adobe) · IBM Plex Mono (Mike Abbink, Bold Monday) — both SIL Open Font License
- Space and light
- three.js, WebGL 2 — geometry, engraving and material from code, no bought scene
- The guide’s voice
- synthetic, in both languages; there is no narrator to name
- Delivery
- Vercel
The one bet.
An edition that measures itself. kultmeister.com does not claim its standard — it performs it: on every visit the page reads its own vital signs and shows the record. The proof is not a statement but a measurement, taken this moment.
This edition carries no ink of its own. The instrument stays neutral so the work can carry the colour.
The stand you are reading is 2.125.0, released on . Editions here are versioned like a printed work rather than a product: a new number means a new edition when the guiding gesture changes, a smaller one when something you can see moves, and a smaller one still when something you cannot see is corrected. Every released stand keeps its tag, so it can be returned to.
Edition II · MMXXVI · the gallery · set in Source Serif 4 and IBM Plex Mono, rendered in WebGL 2 · crafted and measured · accepted and signed on 20 September 2026.
