Background Being built right now in the open by James Delaney for Science Gallery Dublin's commision of "Can you build us an online gallery?" for their year-long season of exhibitions, events and education, questioning the social, psychological and technological aspects of bias in AI, Ethics, Trust and Justice.

UI Builder Notes:

• Each individual UI Element is a PUXI.Stage container

• UI has two communication methods, a stream of data, and individual events
• STAGE -> WIDGETGROUP -> WIDGET -> GRAPHICS
