Soft Machines: Poetry & A.I.

Soft Machines: Poetry & A.I.

Featuring Radoslaw Jurczak & Lola van Scharrenburg. Host Nikki Dekker

Poetry is less and less an art of humans alone. AI generators are now coming up with the craziest, most cryptic and poetic texts. Is poetry poetry even if a machine wrote it? What possibilities do computers offer for writing the poems of the future? And what role can poetry play in the development of the soft Internet? Listen to Nikki Dekker talk with Polish festival poet and A.I. developer Radoslaw Jurczak and Lola van Scharrenburg who is currently researching the relationship between poetry, translation & AI, about the connection between poems, machines and the people who control them.
