geometric poetics
With AI, words become geometry and geometry becomes words. Poems can be explored as shapes and shapes as poems. This is not just a representation or interpretation but a perfect translation between mediums.
In 1860 the first sound was recorded as a visual representation of the associated vibrations. The lines drawn could be reverse-engineered to produce the recorded sound. The lines are not an interpretation of the sound, they are the sound.
For as long as an AI's spatial embedding models remain constant, each word has a fixed set of coordinates that can be used to find its location. AI creates these spaces and places the data according to patterns it identifies in its training.
We can now explore this high-dimensional digital landscape in a process that estranges language from its typical linguistic setting. The encountered topography is strange but rich with opportunities for interpretation and inspiration.
The two poetic prototypes below are vehicles to explore this unchartered territory
