A Field Guide
Automate Capture is a creative-technical research studio. An IP warehouse and personal thinktank. The work here is deep, themed, and interactive—where the presentation is part of the substance.
Each project here is built as a working metaphor. Distillation is a whiskey distillery. Model surgery is an auto‑mechanic's garage. Bible semantics is a 3D galaxy.
The metaphor isn't decoration—it's the interface. Rigorous technical work becomes navigable, inhabitable, and memorable when the substrate it lives in is something a visitor already understands.
A piece of research starts in the Research division—a paper, a benchmark, a hunch. If it survives scrutiny, it goes to Research Radar, an autonomous pipeline that reproduces papers, runs the tests, and ships validated artifacts. The output is an Exhibit: a fully-realized site with the working code, the metaphor, the data, and an honest evaluation of where it works and where it doesn't.
The work here is research first. Some exhibits grow into products over time; many stay as published artifacts. The body of work is the point—products are a welcome side‑effect when they emerge.
Because rigorous research deserves interfaces as considered as the research itself.
Because making technical depth navigable for non-specialists is part of the rigor, not separate from it.
Because building this way is more fun, and the work is sharper when it's fun.
