The fiction has a marked edge.
This is not a commercial AI laboratory. FAUST is a fictional model programme, not a released foundation model.
The Grimoire is a physical artwork in development. One working prototype is planned for 2027. The Altar and Temple are design outcomes of that sprint and are built only for the complete exhibition.
The catalogue price is one soul. Nothing on this site offers hardware, employment, securities, investment participation, or financial products.
The corporate register is part of the artwork. It is meant to hold belief long enough for the underlying questions to become concrete, while this page remains one click away from every surface.
Additional collaborators and host institutions are credited here only after their participation is confirmed.
The project does not claim that AI is demonic. It asks what becomes visible when summoning is treated as an interface problem: name the intelligence, state its boundary, show its price, and define how the encounter ends.
De transparante partnerpagina voor de productiesprint januari tot en met augustus 2027 staat in het Nederlands, met kunstcredit vanaf de eerste regel.
