    MoHA is The Museum of Human Achievement

    This is an interactive, console.log essay about love for computers, combating escapism and deactivating healing fantasies to face the world. it's only accesible through a desktop computer.

    Please open your browser's developer tools (quick how-to here) and navigate to the console log. Both the console log and this window should both be visible to be able to fully read the essay as intended.

    This project was made during my stay at Welcome to my Homepage! Digital Residency at MOHA ♡︎♡︎

      Crazy seeing this here. I live in Austin and went to an EFF Austin meeting a few months ago where someone from MoHA came and talked about what it is. Literally never heard of it besides then and now despite the fact I go eat across the street from it fairly often.

        I'll mention the birthday paradox but it will be someone's birthday the same day that they read this sentence

        And I've never heard of it despite being a years-long regular patron of the Ground Floor Theater, also across the street!

    Did anyone else get lots of errors with the remote content? The text works fine, but based on the errors I'm seeing in the console output, there should be audio files being played too, as well as some other stuff. Lots of "Failed to load resource", "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED". I started out in Firefox with shields at maximum, then tried some other things including a completely clean profile in Chrome to no avail.

    This seems like it could be very good but I want to experience it fully, not just text!

      weird! I didn't get any errors like that. The nature sounds are nice and match the text really well. unfortunate!

        Does it still work for you as of today? I'm wondering if there's something up with the content host.

          I've reached out to the author to inform them of this. Hopefully they can fix it soon

      I suspect those errors are related to uBlock Origin or another content blocker. If you have one installed, try disabling it on this page.

        They aren't. It's mostly CORS policy violations (including the audio ones which are disguised by how they set the audio up).

    I might just be not good at this, but typing c in the console log does nothing (on firefox), it just wants to correct to cache, and if I try 'c' it returns "c". Would love to see how this works!

      If it was my own creation I'd try to make it work both ways so that it would not be confusing... I guess one could do something similar by assigning a string to the variable c... or maybe something like this would be better:

      Object.defineProperty(window, 'c', {
  get: function() {
    console.log("Function executed!");
  }
});
