AI names the mosquito by its wingbeat

Work requirements

Details

ASK: one infographic - a machine naming a mosquito from the sound of its wings. FACT (locked): a model of 51,351 parameters reaches 89 percent accuracy end to end - filtering noise and naming the species - across 6 species. Small enough for edge hardware. Source: Kiriwanna et al, ACM IAIT, 2026. ALSO AVAILABLE (locked if you use them): a female Anopheles gambiae beats its wings at about 547 Hz; malaria killed about 610,000 people in 2024. BEAT: the insect announces itself, the disease caught by listening. DIRECTION (we lock the world AND the device; iterate inside it): Swiss International Typographic, strict grid, one type family, confident white space; a clinical public-health register. PALETTE: 3 inks, near-black, paper, one hot signal colour for the sound alone, named hexes. FRAME: a tall grid. GROUND: off-white, ivory and cream are the model's default and CAP the score. Commit to a ground that is not off-white. SPACE: at least 40 percent stays quiet ground; compose the emptiness. Filled corner to corner CAPS, however good the drawing. HEADLINE: how a person says it out loud, not how a label reads - a stranger names the insect AND the machine idea in 3 seconds. If it sounds like a caption or product feature, redo it. VOICE: write every word in the register above. CARE: the paper demonstrates no hardware - no battery, no village, no cloud-free claim. 6 species, not all mosquitoes. TEXT: 1 headline, up to 4 labels. STANDARD (detail in INSECTS-MAKER-GUIDE.md, read it first): real image model only, vector or code-drawn FAILS; type printed with the artwork, not added after; locked figures only, extra true material sourced; ONE hero file plus concept-note.md and sources.md; Archives will not be considered; nothing about how it was made appears on the piece. JUDGED: wow, subject, surprise, craft. NOT THIS: a charity poster; a waveform laid over a photo.
