I have spent the last few months completing a novel I started a long time ago and turning it into a non-linear interactive experience. For my final project in several classes, I have transferred this novel into a printer-equipped camera to make a new and different type of photographic experience.
artificial intelligence
For my current project in Temporary Expert, I have been experimenting with artificially intelligent voice interfaces in order to build an art piece with similar functionality to the Amazon Echo, but with unexpected properties.
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.
word.camera
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.
Fiction Generator
For my Introduction to Computational Media final project, I will be creating a fiction generator using text files scraped from tvtropes.org along with natural language processing in Python.
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.
