Attention Mechanism

PROTECT STATUS: not protected
Longread translated automatically

This series explores how artificial intelligence perceives, understands, and contemplates the surrounding world—by operating within a context window, breaking down reality into raw data and ready-made categories.

Since the model lacks a body and consciousness, it operates within a context window, breaking reality down into pixels and interface tiles. The name references the real «attention mechanism» in neural networks, but it is deliberately distorted to simulate a machine malfunction.

The works are executed on thick plywood: the layers on the edges echo the architecture of a neural network, and the pink objects, physically extending beyond the frame, function as a corporeal underbelly. A rupture emerges at the boundary of the context window. Lacking its own body, the model substitutes lost data with artificial fragments to fill the void.
