For my final project in Learning Machines, I forced a deep learning machine to watch every episode of The X-Files.
word.camera exhibition
This week, I've been exhibiting my ongoing project, word.camera, at IDFA DocLab in Amsterdam.
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.

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.
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.
Fiction Generator, Part III
For my final project in Introduction to Computational Media with Daniel Shiffman, I presented my fiction generator (working title: "FicGen"). Since my previous post about this project, I have added a graphical user interface and significantly refactored my code.
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.
General Update
I've been so busy the past two weeks that I failed to update this blog. But documentation is important, and that's why I'm going to take a moment to fill you in on all my recent activities. This post will cover all the projects I've been working on.
Wikipoet
Wikipoet is a program I wrote in Python that generates simple, iterative poems using the raw text from Wikipedia articles (retrieved via the MediaWiki API) and NLTK.
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.
