This week, I've been exhibiting my ongoing project, word.camera, at IDFA DocLab in Amsterdam.
Traveler’s Lamp, Part II
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
