What is strauh.al?
Updated
strauh.al is a personal art archive, digital scrapbook, and experimental knowledge graph, maintained since 2015. It is not a commercial or e-commerce site; it is a long-running collection and experiment. You can browse it if you want to explore an idiosyncratic mix of art, media, and loosely connected ideas rather than shop or use a conventional product.
What you will find
The site is organized into sections that mix art, media, and knowledge-graph experiments. The main entry points visible on the homepage include:
/knowledge_base— a knowledge-graph section/art— art archive/photography— photography collection/museum— museum section/brain— an experimental section
The archive also branches into time periods (/1500s through /2000s) and many media and topic collections, such as:
/3d_scans/religious_texts/diagrams/artists/computers/scripts/printing_videos/album_covers/wallpapers/comics/gif_collection/ukiyo_e/pictures_of_musicians/old_photos/baby_videos/influences/implicit_distance/dreams/ideas_sketchbook_2020-25
There are also utility and meta pages such as /updates, /random_quote, /draw_for_me, /about, and /disclaimer.
What kind of site it is
It is best understood as a personal, curated archive rather than a service or store. The description calls it an art archive, digital scrapbook, and experimental knowledge graph. The presence of sections like /brain, /knowledge_base, and /implicit_distance suggests the site is also a place for experimenting with how ideas and media connect, not just a gallery.
