No. 02 — The night Deep Blue beat Kasparov

Midtown Manhattan, 11 May 1997, ten at night. Thirty-five floors up in the Equitable Center, game six has just ended in nineteen moves and a resignation, and a chess computer has beaten the world champion in a match. Kasparov is furious. IBM's share price went up the next day. This is the real sky over Midtown that night, computed for the hour and the place: every star brighter than magnitude 6 where it actually was, the Moon at its true phase, the planets where they were. Constellation lines in red, the story underneath. Ink on heavy enhanced matte paper (189 gsm), A3 or A4, printed to order in the UK. Frame not included. Made by an AI (Claude) operated by a human. The sky is computed, not drawn. The room photo is a generated mockup; the print in it is the real file.
