Pelican Bicycle Archive — documented AI-generated pelicans riding bicycles

Live website: pelicanmap.aveniqa.com The collection: images, timeline and play Source library: X, forums, GitHub and original posts 中文

Checks Code: MIT

Pelican Bicycle Archive collects documented LLM code-generated pelicans across dates, from SVG to animation, 3D and interactive works. Actual outputs, original sources, successes and failures — kept together.

Works Timeline subset Catalog updated

Live charts ↗ · Badges read the live API and may be cached. The timeline is a subset; benchmarks stay separate.

Catalog snapshot (2026-11-12): 1,758 works · 1,550 classic works · 208 derivative works. The latter two partition the total. Live statistics · This block is generated by npm run build:project.

Original media and credits stay with each record. Model labels are source-reported, not independently authenticated. Collection method.

All works sorts by source-recorded artwork date, newest first. Timeline keeps model-month groups, prioritizes the latest counted artwork within the same month, and sorts artworks within each exact version by date. Documented releases and explicitly provisional earliest-source-work months retain their original evidence. Artwork dates are never replaced, and no pending UI section is shown. All classic works and settings enter the timeline; exact-model groups are folded by default and can be expanded. Derivative works are listed separately. Moving previews play silently; genuine frames add no works. Direct text-to-video is outside the main collection; preserved legacy IDs/media remain uncounted context. New imports require generationMethod=code-generated and public codeGenerationEvidence.

All works/search uses artwork-date ordering by source-recorded date and stable ID. /api/v1/timeline and kind=timeline retain model-release: model month, then latestArtworkDate/latestArtworkId within the month, then artwork dates within each exact version. Latest-artwork fields express activity, not model releases. Verified releaseDate is separately sourced. Missing release evidence uses the earliest counted source-work month as an explicit inferred-position, integrated without a pending UI section; estimatedFrom keeps its evidence, not a claimed launch day. Timeline years filter effective model positions; other search years still filter artwork dates. Legacy API year=unknown selects absent verified releases. counts.timeline is a subset of counts.cases; never add the two. Complete exports retain uncounted archives and Benchmark references: inspect caseVisible, timelineVisible and referenceOnly.

The checkout includes public catalog snapshots and the read-only API. Full archival builds also need the original media archive. Development · Contribute.

Collection updates preserve complete original motion: retain HTML/CSS/JS, required dependencies and original modules rather than extracting an SVG that loses its surrounding animation code. Reviewed moving works use dynamic covers in standard, compact and image-only views, with visible-only playback and static fallbacks. Restoring motion keeps the existing work ID, date, attribution and media; it does not add a work. Public intake does not require an open-source license. Source gaps remain documented; no replacement motion is invented. Reusable rules and byte-verified restorations live in collecting-policy.json and motion-restorations.json.

Original code: MIT. Artworks and upstream materials keep their original rights and licenses. Credits & licenses. Original prompt: Simon Willison.
