“Attention is all you need"

It addresses the intersection between contemporary technology and spiritual quest. Inspired by the poem of Luis Rosales, which poetizes the spiritual journey through uncertainty and desire, the exhibition uses this metaphor to explore how digits, specifically transformers algorithms, become a tool for existential search. 

The poem by Rosales, with its references to the "night", the "thirst" and the "source", provides a conceptual framework for the connection with the divine. The "night" symbolizes the darkness and uncertainty of the spiritual path; the "thirst" represents the insatiable drive for knowledge and transcendence; and the "source" alludes to the origin, the ultimate truth or the divine. The exhibition translates these abstract ideas into a modern context by using technological elements and everyday objects.

In this context, plastic baskets are presented as a multifaceted visual allegory. These elements, ubiquitous and mundane, represent the building blocks of a highly commercialized civilization. They function as containers and transporters of goods, connectors between worlds, symbolizing the containment for the journey and the continuous flow of life in search of value. In the exhibition, these baskets are reinterpreted as symbols of modern spiritual quest, reflecting the way technology transports and transforms data into a constant flow of information and meaning.

Transformers and algorithms, cutting-edge technologies in the generation and processing of language, position themselves in this narrative as the new "transporters" of the digital age. Just as baskets carry physical goods, transformers carry data, ideas, and information, facilitating communication and understanding in an increasingly interconnected world. This analogy highlights how contemporary technological tools can be seen as facilitators of a spiritual exercise, in which the search for knowledge and connection resembles the search for a source that we intuitively feel exists but never reach.

"Attention is all you need" invites viewers to think about the role of technology in our lives, not just as a set of functional tools but as elements that participate in the deeper quest for understanding and transcendence. The exhibition suggests that at the core of our interaction with technology lies a spiritual longing that has propelled humanity throughout history. And in that sense, technology is probably the most human trait of all.
