computational poetry reading group

tiat (151 Powell Street, San Francisco)  /  facilitated by Helen Shewolfe Tseng  /  https://coyote.computer/cprg



computational poetry reading group @ tiat is a new and recurring series of gatherings at the intersection of language and technology. This will be a space for reading and discussing our way through the world of computational poetry and electronic literature through visual, historical, critical, and other contextual lenses; hands-on remixing of classic computational poetry pieces; writing and critique sessions; occasional guest speakers; reading and discussing adjacent texts; and more. We aim to foster an experimental, collaborative, generative environment that we shape together, prioritizing learning from each other, familiarizing ourselves with and paying homage to computational poetic landscapes past and present, honing our critical eyes, and expanding our creative practices.

Upcoming events

June 10: Ensemble Park #2

Ensemble Park is a journal of human + computer writing, which the editors, Kyle Booten and Katy Ilonka Gero, describe as:
Neither completely computer-generated nor absent of computational intervention, the works explore how machines may enter a writing process iteratively, and how textual artifacts may be produced through such iterations. Each piece is accompanied by a Process Note so that readers may learn from, borrow, and adapt tactics.
Featuring guest speakers and EP2 contributors Ivan Zhao and Alicia Guo!
