Description
Poetry Machine is mixing randomly two poems by William Blake: Little Girl Lost and Little Boy Lost. The poems are read out loud by the machine - every time the reading is launched, it may be different due to an algorithm responsible for using the particular verse from the database.The artificial voices are synthesized by computer software.
The human body influence and interacted with the machine - adequate to the distance to the object, the voices are changing, modificate the volume, mixíng the sentence, getting destroyed.
The work plays with sensibility of machines, digital memory and
reaction between body and artificial object.
