| **A Readymade by TheFactoryX** | |
| ## Original Dataset | |
| [deepmind/code_contests](https://huggingface.co/datasets/deepmind/code_contests) | |
| ## Process | |
| This dataset is a "readymade" - inspired by Marcel Duchamp's concept of taking everyday objects and recontextualizing them as art. | |
| **What we did:** | |
| 1. Selected the original dataset from Hugging Face | |
| 2. Shuffled each column independently | |
| 3. Destroyed all row-wise relationships | |
| 4. Preserved structure, removed meaning | |
| **The result:** | |
| Same data. Wrong order. New meaning. No meaning. | |
| ## Purpose | |
| This is art. This is not useful. This is the point. | |
| Column relationships have been completely destroyed. The data maintains its types and values, but all semantic meaning has been removed. | |
