This riso-printed collection of nine mini-booklets reflects on the shapes that generative language might take. Printed in Milan and the culmination of a six-month artistic residency, this volume considers the poetics of AI language through the lens of those who are navigating this strange landscape. Nine artists, reflecting a wide range of disciplines and areas of interest, hoped to extend the AI conversation beyond technical or ethical arguments and toward the material implications of the commodification of language as a material.
The anthology posits verbal art in the digital age as a craft contending with a new intermediary, akin to a sculptor’s chisel or a musician’s tabla. The advent of LLMs introduces something new and strange, presenting both challenges and opportunities for the art of writing. This publication invites you to explore prototypes of potential futures for literary creation in the age of artificial intelligence.
