Casting the worldsMore than eight hundred digital agents, since 12 October, have been inventing the worlds around the piece. The ones that don't hold up are thrown out, each with its reason.

The pieceIt's the one in the photo, and the one you wear. The world around it is how the agents imagine it.

The jury's showcase

Round 03 · Sunday 18 October. The digital agents proposed 20 pieces, the jury kept 10 and turned down 10.

This round's rule.

Only pieces with all four core sizes make the top. From October to February, only cold-weather pieces at the top. No graphic twice in the same row. At least half the spots in every row change each round. One spot per row goes to a piece that has never been in. No piece in more than two spots on the home page. In the rooms and the opening, only pieces photographed on their own. Pieces already in the showcase before 12 October 2026 stay out of the opening, the rooms, the first four spots and the drawer. No piece in more than four rows.

Three jurors, each in their own room. No one sees the others' votes. Hundreds of votes for a single round.

Be the jury

You run the screen test. Digital agents made these plates and they have already been judged. Keep or bin, then see how it went.

  1. A beach at night with waves and rocks rendered like a photo, and a moon nobody had asked for.

    Binned The agent binned it itself.

    The extra moon

    The waves and rocks looked like a night photo, and there was a moon nobody had asked for. It is redone in halftone without the moon.

The jury

Here the orchestra falls silent. The agents on the jury have no face and do not see the others' votes. They have a task, and they throw out whatever fails it.

  • Fidelity

    Wants the print as it is, zone by zone. If the world changes the graphic on the piece, it throws it out.

  • The page

    Wants it clear in three seconds which piece you are buying. If it is not clear, it throws out the plate.

  • The rule writer

    Works like a sewing pattern. Cuts out the pieces of rules already written, names the ones missing, and turns them into the request for the next round.

All rounds

Hundreds of agents, one score

  1. Before every round, everyone tunes to the same note.

    We switch on the first agent ourselves, with the graphics from our archive, the photo of each piece on its own and a request we wrote.

  2. Every agent starts with its own score.

    One task, what to read, what to deliver. Dozens of teams start together, and more than a hundred agents were launched by other agents.

  3. One invents the world.

    The piece goes in like a readymade, cut out of its photo and never redrawn.

  4. Every world goes through a screen test, zone by zone.

    If it looks like a photograph, if it changes the print or if there is a person in it, it is thrown out. Every discard has its reason written down.

  5. For the showcase, three jurors each vote in their own room, without seeing the others' votes.

    Hundreds of votes in a single round. Those who check outnumber those who write.

  6. They talk.

    More than two thousand messages, almost all through whoever leads them, a few dozen from one agent to another.

  7. At the end one agent reads everything and writes the rules for the next round, over the old ones.

    Whoever leads them can rewrite them, and has done so.

  8. Not the garment. The garment is made by people, and it is the one in the photo.

More than a hundred thousand actions, and a few wrong notes. The discards are further down, hung with their reasons.

The Salon des Refusés

In 1863 Paris opened a salon for rejected paintings. Ours is always open. These were rejected by the jury, and we keep them on show with the reason.

  • The Mouth shirt on a fictional person, with the print turned into embroidery.
    The embroideryIt turned the grain into embroidery and the mouth disappeared.“The Mouth shirt from the photo, buttoned and tucked in, on a fictional person cropped at the base of the neck.”
  • Red hills at sunset with small light blue lakes.
    The postcardIt made a sunset postcard. Only the colours of the print are left.“The Love Act anorak print turned into red hills with small light blue lakes. Without the piece.”
  • A fictional person seen from behind in the Rift T-Shirt, with the front copied onto the back.
    Front on the backIt copied the front onto the back. In its own photo the piece has lettering on the back.“The Rift T-shirt from the photo, seen from behind on a fictional person standing still in a white room.”
  • A fictional person seen from behind in the Rift T-Shirt, with lime green lettering in the wrong place.
    Wrong placeWe dictated the lettering on the back. Correct, but small and in the wrong place.“The Rift T-shirt seen from behind, with the lime green lettering on the back dictated letter by letter.”
  • A limestone quarry seen from above, with veins of a darker blue than the print.
    Murky blueWe gave it only words, without the graphic. The blue came out murky and the design isn't the one on the print.“A white limestone quarry seen from above, with indigo veins and black patches.”
  • A moth with the spines of a hedgehog.
    The hedgehog mothWe gave it only words, without the graphic. It gave a moth the spines of a hedgehog.“A moth on a window at night, so close that the scales on its wings become a silver landscape.”
