Hint 7 "Progress on 'The Dance'
Two of the images in the gallery 'photo_10.png' and 'photo_17.png' have almost identical content, but the differences in the 'collision blocks' at the start cause different chunks to form the basis of the rendered image. (Try comparing them here: https://hexed.it/)
Adjusting the collision block in 'photo_10.png' will cause it to be rendered as 'photo_17.png' (as the data is now identical). Performing the same change on the other 19 images reveals a different 256 x 256 mosaic image in each case.
However, only the 'photo_10.png' and 'photo_17.png' files contain two sets of image metadata.
Notably, the metadata for 'photo_6.png' is quite different.
This document here refers to the 'Collision Dance': https://mcfp.felk.cvut.cz/publicDatasets/pocorgtfo/contents/articles/19-05.pdf
-so I wonder if there's something specific in that which might illuminate this situation.
The clue is 'The collider is primed. We are getting closer to finding order in the anomaly. There's a hex for everything, and a scientific phenomenon waiting to unfold.' What I've described above involves hexes and colliders, but there's nothing about anomalies or unfolding.
The 'wrong message' is 'Perform Engorgio Skullus.'. This refers to the expansion of heads. Expansion of file headers?" - Located on Discord - Stated by Creators
Hint 8 "Photo_6 is quite different, lots of metadata emebedded in it with dates and xml xmp. anomaly? Also found reference hidden to this video on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv8aiqWE3Iw&t=740s&ab_channel=AngeAlbertini" - Located on Discord - Stated by Creators
Step 1. To decyrpt the website identity we must utilize a similar method to how the Google Billboard riddle was solved
Step 2. To decode the squares we must likely complete Step 1 to obtain further information from the website
With what info we have so far it may be a rotary phone refference?
LOTR rings refference could tie into phone rings?
The collider is primed. We are getting closer to finding order in the anomaly. There's a hex for everything, and a scientific phenomenon waiting to unfold.

The code is primed. We are getting closer to finding order in the annagram. There's a hex for everything, and a scientific phonemenon waiting to unfold.
