For my final project in Learning Machines, I forced a deep learning machine to watch every episode of The X-Files.
Sound Camera, Part III
I completed the physical prototype of the sound camera inside the enclosure I specified in my prior post, the Kodak Brownie Model 2.
Sound Camera, Part II
Using JavaScript and Python Flask, I created a functional software prototype of the Sound Camera.
Author Cameras
For my primary project in Project Development Studio with Stefani Bardin, I am planning to make 3-5 more physical word cameras.
word.camera, Part II
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.
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.
Fiction Generator, Part IV
For my final project in Networked Media with Daniel Shiffman, I put the Fiction Generator online at fictiongenerator.com. I also exhibited this project at the ITP Winter Show.
ITP Code Poetry Slam
Several months ago, I asked the question: Who Is Code Shakespeare. On November 14, 2014, I believe the first ITP Code Poetry Slam may have brought us closer to an answer.
Fiction Generator, Part II
After scraping about 5000 articles from tvtropes.org to retrieve descriptions for characters and settings, Sam Lavigne suggested I scrape erowid.org to dig up some exposition material. I proceeded to scrape 18,324 drug trip reports from the site, and integrated that material into the generator.
The Mechanical Turk’s Ghost, Part III
We have begun work on our midterm assignments for Automata, and we were asked to present our concepts for this week's class. I have decided to pursue my chess idea, the Mechanical Turk's Ghost, and will discuss its implementation in this post.
More Poetizer Output
I thought I'd share a few more computer poems with you. But first, a new video.
Poetizer
Two days before ITP begins, and this is what I'm currently working on: computer generated poetry, read by a computer and accompanied by computer-selected images related to the text.
