Generative Text

Plan

  • Have artist create a taxonomy of meaning for the words used in his texts
  • Structure data to allow for easy manipulation and selection
  • Create an interface that allows artist to play around with generative features

interface

  • Host a simple js+html+css interface (on vizhub?)
  • X-number of dropdown menus for each textual dimension
  • Y-number of generated texts in simple html
  • Additional features like randomization, length settings (total length but also lenght of sentences)

Changelog

  • Added a sentence length input field
  • Converted to a new data structure that allows easier data input by the artist in the back-end

Interesting output examples

While most of the sentences seem nonsensical, there are some thought provoking lines in the mix. Because your thought process is associative it will look for meaning and relevance and qickly find links.
