Last week, Joanna Wrzaszczyk and I completed the first version of our dynamic light sculpture, inspired by Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities and the Traveling Salesman Problem.

For my final projects in Conversation and Computation with Lauren McCarthy and This Is The Remix with Roopa Vasudevan, I iterated on my word.camera project.

Last week, I launched a web application and a concept for photographic text generation that I have been working on for a few months. The idea came to me while working on another project, a computer generated screenplay, and I will discuss the connection in this post.
GutenFlag
For my final project in Storage Wars: Narrating Digital Archives with Michael Connor, I generated new metadata for the Project Gutenberg ebook archive using AlchemyAPI natural language concept extraction. I then created a Twitter bot (@GutenFlag) that recommends books to Twitter users based on topics in their most recent tweets.
Traveler’s Lamp
For my primary project in Sculpting Data into Everyday Objects with Esther Cheung and Scott Leinweber, Joanna Wrzaszczyk and I will be creating a lamp to visualize the traveling salesman problem between a set of cities that Italo Calvino described in Invisible Cities.
Dr. Gonzo
For my first project in Conversation and Computation with Lauren McCarthy, I created a therapist bot with the voice of Hunter S. Thompson.
