FountAIn — Optional Intention

Field notes

The exhibit uses a fixed 3D object and variable textual interpretation as its central mechanism: visitors rotate the sculpture, request another caption, and can clear the accumulated excess. The page identifies the object as “R. MUTT / RE-PROMPTED,” labels it Edition 001 / ∞, and says its captions are locally assembled satire rather than model-generated output. A curatorial note connects the experiment to Duchamp’s 1917 Fountain while distinguishing it from a scan or museum replica.
