Ancient carved face in weathered marble

01

Question

When a model retells a myth, what does the error tell us?

02

Idea

Treat model failure as an artefact worth exhibiting.

03

World

Text fragments, degraded imagery, systematic captioning.

04

Making

  • Corpus assembly
  • Prompt and model experiments
  • Curation of failures

05

Experience

Presented as a reading room: printed outputs, annotations, no screens.

06

Result

An expanding printed archive of machine misreadings.

07

Reflection

Myths already survived centuries of retelling. This is only the newest mouth.
