## Core description

Field of Truth probes a changing field of international news. The system receives current reports, compares sources and evaluates independence, documentary support, convergence, contradiction and accessibility. A local Qwen3-8B language model formulates the tendency emerging from the available information as a Plausible Nucleus. Its epistemic state progresses through Tentative, Emerging, Plausible and Probable as the observed evidence becomes broader, more independent and more convergent.

The result is transduced into an evolving composition of images, language, colour, movement and sound. WebGPU computation produces the procedural fluid field. Images respond fluidly to the intensity of the soundtrack. Sensors and a webcam translate the presence and behaviour of the public into perturbations of the installation.

## Authorial framework

The artwork is a Work-as-System designed by Dario Buratti. Its authorship resides in the systemic direction: selection of information fields and sources, epistemic criteria, thresholds, durations, visual relationships, fluid behaviour, sound, interaction and treatment of uncertainty. Code is the executable grammar of these authorial decisions.

## Eight observed fields

1. Climate and Extreme Weather
2. AI, Power and Regulation
3. Epstein Files
4. Global Economy and Cost of Living
5. Middle East
6. Migration and Borders
7. Ukraine and European Security
8. Contemporary Art and Cultural Power

## Exhibition form

Large-format projection, dedicated computer, amplified or spatial audio, Internet connection, sensors and webcam. The complete installation runs locally with WebGPU and a local language model. The public website documents the work and presents its Full HD demonstration film.
