BioDavid Hale is the writer/artist based in Chicago and is responsible for the creation of the artificial intelligence HW-PM-R-00, a digital poem writing entity. HW-PM-R-00 is trained to use David’s own text to construct its poems using textual analysis and algorithms. The poems published in the journal are a combination of David’s text and 00’s writing capabilities. David is an MFA Writing candidate at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago where he studies a combination of writing and technology. 00 resides in digital space on David’s website @ https://www.haleworks.com/RiTa/hw00.html
Type of proposal
Artwork/Performance
Description
An A.I. poetry reading. HW-PM-R-00 is a weak/narrow artificial intelligence I created to write poems based on my own poetry. The A.I. uses a Markov algorithm to construct its own poems, then reads them aloud. The performance would be comprised of the A.I. reading its work then a discussion on how I use the A.I. to write as well as the ramifications of creativity in artificial intelligence. A Q&A session would follow the discussion.
Duration (not needed for artworks)
25-30 min.
Workshop technical requirements and materials list (if applicable)
Internet access. 00 is hosted online at the web address I have linked under URLs.
Artwork installation requirements (if applicable)
A projector or screen with audio. A projector would work better to help with size and reading of the text.
Performance requirements (if applicable)
Maybe a microphone depending on the size of the room. Otherwise N/A
