Obvious

Obvious is the French trio Pierre Fautrel, Gauthier Vernier and Hugo Caselles-Dupré. Their self-description places art and algorithm research within a collective workshop model. Their manifesto sets out several sites of authorship—subject, data, algorithm, output selection and medium—rather than locating the artist’s role in a single prompt. Dream Capsules is the trio’s solo release in this register.

Collectors and attribution

Each series dossier links to the sampled wallets that hold it. A wallet holding the collective project All AI Art Looks The Same is not automatically counted as holding work by every participant. Token-level artist attributes are needed to make that more specific claim.

Artist names here are public release credits. Aliases and collaborations are resolved only where the credited record supports the relationship.
