🎭 This web resource is a literary experiment and a full-fledged hoax dedicated to the life and work of a fictional decadent and symbolist poet of the Silver Age. Our goal is not simply to create a fake historical artifact, but also to use it as a platform for exploring current issues of art, style, and technology in the 21st century.

🌟 Conceptual Statement: Symbolism as a Timeless Method

Our key thesis: Symbolism is not just a historical movement, but a universal poetic method capable of interpreting reality in any era.

Through the "archive," we test the hypothesis: can a style born at the beginning of the 20th century become a language for expressing contemporary existential ideas? Tristan Dolorin's work, created at the turn of the century, asserts that the art of literature and perfect form (filigree metrics, sound, profound rhyme) remain the only reliable tool for conveying the mystical, "ineffable" symbol.

🛠️ Methodology: Transparency and Technology

The project is being implemented at the intersection of human creativity and the capabilities of artificial intelligence. We adhere to the principle of complete transparency regarding our content creation methods:

I. AI-Generated Content (Google Sites)

• Materials intended to create the external structure of the myth and the historical context were generated using modern language models.

• Content types: Biography of Tristan Dolorin, critical essays, historical notes, commentary on the poems.

• Tools used: Leading language models, including Gemini and other tools, were used in the creation and compilation of the texts.

• Images: All portraits and photographs of Tristan Dolorin and the characters surrounding him are works of fiction, generated by specialized image-creation models (such as Copilot) and stylized by the project author using graphic editors (GIMP) to give them an authentic, "archival" appearance.

II. Author Content (Substack, Medium)

• The creative core of the project, which gives it artistic value and demonstrates the relevance of symbolism, is human-created.

• Content types: Main poetic texts.

• Authorship: All poems are the property of the creator of this project (published under the pseudonym/role "Archive Curator").

• Role of AI in the poems: AI was used solely as an auxiliary tool for editing, proofreading, and stylistic improvement, equivalent to the work of a proofreader. This does not affect copyright or creative input.

👤 About the Author and Anonymity

• The project is non-commercial, created solely for the purpose of literary experimentation.

• Role: All interactions are conducted through the role of "Archive Curator"—the archivist of this hoax collection.

• Contact: For questions regarding the concept, creative work, and metadata, please contact Alexander Mezentsev via email.

This project was created to test the hypothesis: is Symbolism a finite historical phenomenon or a universal poetic methodology? Tristan Dolorin's work, created both at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and digitalized in the 21st century, argues for the latter.
