THE OBJECT STAYS THE SAME.

The meaning regenerates.

In 1917, it took a signature.
Today, it takes a prompt.

INTERPRETATION 001 SEEMINGLY PROFOUND

A urinal, relieved of its purpose, questions the value of everything we produce. Probably including this website.

CURATORIAL NOTE / 001

Who made what?

AI is to software what the Industrial Revolution was to craft. A proposition, not a law: when making becomes easy, choosing becomes the work.

In 1917, Duchamp submitted Fountain, a urinal signed “R. Mutt”. The gesture shifted the question from making to choosing. The ready-made predates post-Fordism, but offers a lens for looking at automated production today.

Here, the object stays the same. The machine produces justifications. You decide when there are enough.

A procedural sculpture inspired by Fountain, not a scan or a museum replica. Captions are locally assembled satire: no model calls, no prompt collection.
