How the works are made

Every morning the gallery's server collects three measures of attention from the previous day: the Wikipedia article whose readership rose the most, the share on the Nasdaq that moved the most, and a topic trending on Bluesky. Their names become the title of the day's work. A short text records the numbers behind them.

The image is made from that text and nothing else. The text is turned into a fingerprint, a long number that changes completely if a single character changes. The number makes one choice in each of seven parts of the work: composition, shape, edge, colours, movement, symmetry and layers. The same text always gives the same work.

Nobody chooses the topics. A wedding, a share price, a film, an election or a death can become a title; the system treats them all the same, as the attention economy does. The title is chosen for attention. The image says nothing about its subject. It is an honest trace of a day's attention, but not an explanation of it.

The titles are written to be found by search engines, because being found is what they are about.
