Still on Air

A practical status display for online presence

STILL ON AIR borrows the language of broadcasting to state something plain: online existence behaves like a signal, and it stays on as long as traces keep flowing.

The piece presents itself as a wall sign that reads “STILL ON AIR”. It does not explain, redeem, or dramatize. It just reports the current state generated by EvidencesOfLiveness.sol.

What you see is a simple condition translated into light: if new evidences appear, the sign remains on; if the flow slows down, it turns off. Presence is treated as uptime, absence as interruption.

The work stays intentionally dry: no climax, no promise, no catharsis. Just a stubborn indicator saying that being online is no longer a statement but a maintenance routine.
