This installation uses machine learning to read and dissect poetry. It analysis a database of poetry that is provided by the artist. It uses this database to generate new works.
The installation is made to generate a new holy scripture. It uses a neural network trained on the Bible and Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. It questions the written works on which most of us base our believes.
