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

Et cetera...

The A.I. can be seen at the URL
