Found something worth a second look?
The Institute collects artifacts from the AI era: things that are absurd, failed, strangely useful, or shouldn't exist but do. If you found one, we want to hear about it.
What we collect
- Absurd AI artifacts. A website that took two days to build from a single post. A fake product that looks too real. A tool nobody asked for.
- Failed prototypes. Vibe coding disasters. Reinvented wheels. Things that crash beautifully.
- Strange products. fictional launches, parody startups, objects that sit between art and product.
- Recyclable ideas. Something that failed as a product but contains a useful pattern, prompt, or insight.
How to submit
No forms. No accounts. Two ways:
CHANNEL 01

Open email →What happens next
- We review. Does it fit the shelf? Is it absurd, failed, or strangely useful?
- We label. If accepted, it gets a specimen number, a taxonomy, and a curator's note.
- We publish. It goes on the shelf with your credit (if you want it).
We cannot accept everything. We do not promise to publish every submission. We promise to look at every one.
EDITORIAL BOUNDARY
We can mock the work. We do not humiliate the maker. Submissions that attack a person rather than a thing will be discarded.
