Final Project Week 12

I have decided to make the medium more like an old monitor and include beeping or heartbeat sounds like a heart monitor to go with the theme of life/death. I edited my poem because I do not think I would have been able to finish the project if I had not. Thus far I have finished a few sentences. I think I am going to go with less iconicity with the words and their movement and more pick out the words that I think should be stressed more and make them have whatever emotional movement I think it fits the most while adhereing to a sort of wave-like or sporaticness of a heart monitor. Currently I have been working on the computers in the multimedia lab because my computer cannot handle processing the program and cannot Adobe files to video files. So I cannot upload the video or gif or screenshots as of right now, but I will do that once I am able to go back to the multimedia lab.

Edit: I have been to the multimedia lab and here is my progress on the animation.

Translation and Multilingual Practices

I think agree with the Raley reading in that I think it is at least difficult and at most impossible for language technologies to be refined to the point of being true to the translation. I think that though translation technologies are definitely useful, it would be way too much to be able to translate the small inflectional differences language has, mostly idioms, since they vary across the world and even across countries who speak the same language. One of the points I found interesting is that language technologies are very English-centered, which I think largely limits the accessibility of them. I do think, however, that the use of language technologies could be useful in art. Not so much in doing something like translating books, which I do very much think need a native speaker of the target language who can understand how to genuinely and not literally translate certain parts of the book, or poems that sometimes hold importance in structure that cannot be done by just literal ...

Experiment 7

I decided to do a choose-your-own-adventure game, but was only able to do one scene with time constraints. I am debating whether to build off of it for my final project. http://philome.la/FillMorse/untitled

Generative Text

The dynamic nature of digital language art as a medium was what the readings focused most on. I was really interested in the notion of how to think about traditional art as digital art brought up in "Digital Oulipo: Programming Potential Literature." Specifically, the Cent mille milliards de poemes , which humanizes computer generated poetry. When I think of computer generated poetry, I think of a random assortment of non-meaningful words and sentences. However, visualizing it as a compilation of different poems composed by a person whose lines can be isolated and reconfigured by turning pages and make some sense brings in the human actor that I would otherwise not have even thought about. Computer generated poetry isn't just random words stacked together, it's randomness with a purpose in mind which is a point "Context Free Grammars" brings up in explaining how people are able to program computers to make meaningful sentences. A really good example of compu...
