Poetics of Dynamic Text
Glazier, Loss Pequeño (2003) , S. 1-3
Dynamic texts offer new possibilities for reading and new challenges in how we approach the reading object, forcing the final object away from the idea of a fixed form on a fixed surface. In order to "read" such an object, one must look deeper, into the code itself, and one must consider the various ramifications inherent in a code-based work. Ultimately, one must explore the edge where language apparatuses engage.
Semiotic Considerations in an Artificial Intelligence-Based Art Practice
Mateas, Michael (2003) , S. 1-5
In my work I engage in a hybrid practice combining artificial intelligence (AI) research and art marking, a practice I call Expressive AI. Computers are fundamentally meaning machines - the long chains of meaningless causal processes that comprise computation can be linked to culturally meaningful signs such that computers can participate in processes of signification. AI consists of coupled rhetorical and technical strategies for structuring computational processes. Artists can consciously manipulate these rhetorical and technical strategies so as to build machines with powerful authorial affordances for crafting audience experiences.
