The pictures it takes are fed to a neural net which generates captions, these are then mangled and reformatted to resemble a poem, which emerges from the printer on the back.\n\nThis talk will cover how it works and why it exists. With a look at my past and present experiences with text generation, Twitter bots, AI, and possibly going back as far as Dadaism and the cut-up technique. There will likely be a demonstration, and poetry readings.","original_language":"eng","persons":["Barney
