A token points at its metadata, and the metadata at the work’s files. Each can be written on the chain, stored on Arweave, kept on IPFS while someone pins it, or left on a company’s server. This reads each work’s own addresses, not anyone’s cached copy.

Keep a copy
A folder you keep: the exhibition as a page that opens offline, every image, and where each work lives.
Pin what’s on IPFS
These works depend on 17 IPFS files. Pin the content ids with any pinning service and the works stay reachable whatever happens to the platforms that made them.

Read from each work’s token, once a week. “Permanent” means written on the chain or on Arweave; a work generated from code stored on Ethereum counts too. Platform notes are dated facts from the platforms’ own announcements.
