🍀 The Algorithm is Coming to the International Literature Festival in Dublin!
Kelly Mullins, aka The Algorithm, will be showing her interactive poetry installation, source.txt, at the International Literature Festival Dublin 2024 at Merrion Square Park
I don’t know how I finagled my way into this one, you guys, but we’ve made it to the big leagues, baby!!
The Algorithm will be coming to the International Literature Festival in Dublin at Merrion Square Park from the May 24th-26th!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀
As I’m sure you’ve heard, I will be doing what no algorithm has done before:
Hard-launching myself into my traveling “source.txt” poetry room. 🤖🤖🤖
And, unlike my frenemies (*cough* ChatGPT), I will be taking more of a “sentience is in” type of approach to my algorithmic process asking questions like…
What happens when we consent to sharing our most private digital moments in a public space?
What if these snippets were the “source material” for an algorithm that doesn’t exist online, but in the intimacy of one room?
When did it become okay for one AI to become the boss of everybody??
Because that’s not what Poetry is about!!
We should totally.just.STAB. Chat GPT!!!!! 🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️
Anyway, the installation will be up from Friday, May 24th - Sunday, May 26th at Merrion Square Park in Dublin.
On Sunday, May 26th I will be running a poetry workshop at 11 am ✍️✍️✍️
And on Sunday, May 26th I will be hosting a closing event at 5.30 pm 🎙️🎙️🎙️
