BeautifulSoup is a study of borrowed memories, generated by a system that was never taught to ask for permission. Constructed from scraped texts, digitized artworks, and the labor of unseen hands, these compositions exist in the eerie space between authorship and automation, between creation and extraction.

Each piece is a monument to the invisible—the artists, writers, and photographers whose work has been harvested, reassembled, and transformed into datasets that train machines to imitate human creativity. Aesthetic choices once made with intention are now replicated at scale, their origins dissolved into statistical noise. In this process, beauty is not created; it is compiled.

Like the web-scraping tool from which it borrows its name, BeautifulSoup parses and repurposes, sifting through the vast digital archive of human expression. The result is something familiar yet untethered, a reflection of the cultural past that no longer acknowledges its makers.

This exhibition is not just about AI-generated art. It is about what has been left behind: the authors who are no longer credited, the photographers whose lenses are now datasets, the artists who have unknowingly become accomplices to their own erasure. It is an invitation to question who truly benefits from this so-called innovation—and who is expected to remain unseen.
