When a visitor flip the switch on the black box ; 1. turn off the light | 2. create an aphorism | 3. print it | 4. turn on the light.

 

On October 2024, La machine n'est pas un artifice was exhibited in Paris at la Gaîté Lyrique as part of the "Ce qui nous rassemble : langues, langages et imaginaires" exhibition, curated by Dominique Moulon. The aphorism generation system, entirely rewritten for the occasion, is now based on semantic relations between words. From a static list of words, it follows a given sentence structure, getting new words from the cnrtl dictionary to establish aphorism's charateristic figures of speech.
