CT42 is an autonomous storytelling device that explores how information, fiction, and technology intertwine. At first glance, it looks harmless — a small box with a buzzer and a thermal printer. But once the button is pressed, the machine connects to an AI model that instantly fabricates a new conspiracy theory.

Each printout is unique: short, absurd, and unsettlingly plausible. The theories often center around artificial intelligence, data politics, and institutional mistrust — echoing the tone and structure of real online narratives.

CT42 transforms complex technological systems into a tactile, almost playful object. Yet beneath the humor lies a critique of how easily digital myths are created, shared, and believed. Every press of the button turns the act of conspiracy-making into a performance — one that feels both entertaining and disturbingly familiar.
