«Attribution» explores human construction of meaning through twelve pieces organized in four triads. Each piece brings together three elements produced by independent 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. The work does not seek for these three elements to coincide, but rather to investigate what happens when they appear together.
Before each piece, the mind tends to establish links: the word seems to title the scene, the description seems to explain it, and the image seems to confirm or contradict both. However, this apparent coherence does not belong to the work itself, but rather emerges in the observer. In this way, the installation places at the center of the perceptual experience apophenia: the tendency to find patterns or links where there is only coexistence.
In a context saturated with generated images, automatic classifications, and algorithmic readings of the world, the work questions where meaning is truly produced: in the image, in the system that describes it, or in the observer.
