Attribution explores how meaning is constructed. The work consists of twelve pieces organized into four triads. Each piece brings together three elements produced by different processes: an image generated by artificial intelligence, a word randomly selected by an algorithm, and a description of the image formulated by a visual recognition system. These elements were not designed to form a coherent whole, but the work brings them together to explore what happens when they appear together.

Facing each piece, the viewer tends to establish relationships: the word seems like a title, the description an explanation, and the image a confirmation or contradiction of both. However, this apparent coherence is not pre-established; it arises during observation. In this process, apophenia intervenes: the tendency to perceive connections between elements that are not related to each other or whose correspondence is not unequivocal.

In a context saturated with generated images, automated labels, and classification systems, the work questions where meaning is actually produced: in the image, in the accompanying word, in the system that describes it, or in the observer.

• Typology: wall installation composed of twelve pieces organized in four triads (recommended separation of 10 cm between pieces, 35 cm between triads, and recommended side margins of 40 cm).
• Procedure: digital composition formed by three elements: an image generated by artificial intelligence (56 × 56 cm), a word randomly selected by an algorithm (Helvetica, 42 pt), and a description of the image obtained through a visual recognition system (Helvetica, 22 pt).
• Technique and materials: printing with pigmented inks on 100% cotton paper, matte finish, mounted on Dibond® aluminum with floating frame.
• Dimensions of each piece: 100 × 70 cm (height × width)
• Installation dimensions: variable depending on assembly. Proposed linear configuration: 11.05 m wide, including separation spaces and recommended side margins.
