L.S. Toy is a London-based conceptual artist who merges economics, legality, currency systems, and conflict architecture into procedural artworks. With a dual background in Economics (LSE) and Fine Art (RCA), he builds projects that function like financial instruments, legal artifacts, or system-level documents. Operating outside traditional galleries—often in warehouses—Toy challenges how value, legitimacy, and power are constructed in a tech-driven world. His art behaves less like painting and more like system engineering.

A Prompt Index is a structured inventory of the questions (prompts) users feed into generative AI tools. For marketers, this is the new “visibility graph” Unlike traditional SEO, prompt behavior is opaque; you can’t see search volume or ranking positions.
