How Machines Read + Our Final Artwork
Hasan’s lecture today provided food for thought: Can machines read and talk to us? Supervised vs. Unsupervised learning (unsupervised: humans can learn from existing datasets). Code analogy: code is a formal syntax for thought. Human language is very informal. Input > Model > Output (neural network process). Transformer Architecture. Long Short Term Memory. Chat Bots.…

Reading Writing with Machine GPT3. D7.
AI and it’s quest to find General Purpose understanding of ‘ideas’ seem to me interesting and tricky at the same time. Ideas are rooted in their context of place, people, culture. This is how we have been learning about the world, people and their stories and cultures. Now we have a machine which is attempting…

Can Machines be Creative?
Poetry from our Homeground. We needed to choose 3 pieces of poetry from our ‘homeground’. I chose to work with children’s literature from across time and languages. One which is written for children The second is written by a child and the third about childhood imagination and bravery. The last one is in Bengali and…

Artificially Intelligent Poem…..
This is really crazyyy when I first use the AI to write poem. My all time favorite Tagore, I used three quotes of his poems and premise and then used AI to write poem ,, and the outputs are brilliant ……………………..

A walk with GPT-3
I came to know about this autoregressive language model that uses deep learning to produce human-like text named GPT-3, at first in this CoLab ArtTech fellowship.Although I am a sound artist & have deal with digital workstation each & everyday .. but if the Digital Audio workstation is a canvas , GPT-3 is itself a…

Machinic Poetry
Memory The mist in the distance has already subsided: The insects retreat too , – the stream is lonely and serene. The black boat floats, in lonely vigour. Before our eyes a boundless wall of red Shot through by sudden streaks of jagged pain! Then a slow-gathering darkness overhead, O vision of my city, Yesterday…

Poetry and propositions
An excerpt from This Waking Life – Eamonn Healy speaking about telescopic evolution and the future of humanity. A ‘Santhe’ of propositions in response to the clip https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_khNsotQ=/ The digital whiteboard threw up some complex and interesting propositions but also quite brilliantly exposed the messiness of humans (or maybe artists) and our propensity to react…

Ideation with Fellow Artists!
Some interesting dialogues and information that helped me formulate my ideas so I am compiling them here for a future reference. Thank you fellow collaborators, Be Fantastic Team and off course Hassan @curiouswala for helping throughout the process.

Are we artificial poets?
Text is an interesting medium of expression because while it follows a set of syntax, much like that in code, there is a lot of nuance in how one reads it which changes its meaning. A lot of what we understand of writing depends on our experiences in life and of our perceptions. The message…

What is poetry if it doesn’t suggest, connote, evoke and convey?
Poem: Conceptual artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach. Jeff Koons: ‘I’m making just things, a world that I find interesting to look at.’ Conceptual art can mean anything to anyone. It can mean an action, such as the recent torching of the ashes of conceptual artist Piero…

GPeoT3
Easily one of my favourite explorations in the last few days. Mary Oliver is profound, intimate, real, tender and all the things I would think of as ultra human. She is “home ground” in the way that a friend who has known me all my life, and is out there writing poetry, just so that…

Alternative Book of Revelations
DURING THE ELECTRONIC DARK AGES :In the second century of the Third Millennium: crisis in the West. Under the leadership of Artificial Intelligence, the man-machine war came to a standstill over the issue of the singularity; the question of artificial intelligence:Who is in charge? Who is to be sacrificed in the name of progress and…

The Poem and the Machine
YOU + POEM + AI & ML = For the practice of today’s session, we introduce some lines of poems as input into the GTP-3 ( an autoregressive language model that uses deep learning to produce human-like text.) I selected and introduced lines from different poems such as “I may create a Monster” by Cherríe…

The poem that wrote itself
Dream the fear of death The I who lived here, this shadow Clearly, it was two weeks As when a soul leaves the body, It feels until it passes to another body, awake. Everything comes down to a single thing It’s death everything else is contentment, and strength

Multi-headed Machines
In preparation for today’s session we were asked to watch an interview where Sam Altman (CEO, OpenAI) talks about Artificial Intelligence at Big Compute 20 Tech Conference. OpenAI want to figure out how human intelligence works and are attempting to build AGI ‘safe and beneficial’ (Artificial General Intelligence) for comercial gain. Altman proposed that we…

Using cutting edge technology to write poems.
Yesterday we got access to OpenAi software. The access to this technology is very limited so we were lucky to have access to it. We had to feed the AI parts of poems, in the hope it would recreate a new one. I chose the poem Flanders Field, because of the link with my hometown.…
