i'm attending School for Poetic Computation and will be posting some of my work here. <3

i also post some notes and experiments on my blog.

generative text, taught by allison parrish

a class about computational poetry

• use the UNIX command-line text processing tools to do something creative with some source text. use a non-poem as input, and make a “poem” as output.

  i used different austrian election programs, and used "tr" to replace letters with whitespace, which resulted in different patterns of punctuation and numbers for each party. see all results here

  • this party (FPÖ) uses the least punctuation out of all parties i compared:

    

recreating the past, taught by zach lieberman

in this class, we'll be recreating generative artworks by media art pioneers using code.

• vera molnar #1 (squares)

  

• vera molnar #2 (landscape)

  

• john whitney #1

  

other experiments

• face generator experiment

  i'm wondering how i can best randomly generate faces with a wide range of emotions (w/o using colors & styling). (might turn into a bot eventually? idk)
