Idea

How it works

The bot will try to convince you to write a poem. Otherwise, you will be caught in the ASCII loop of inspiration. If you agree writing a poem the bot will give you constraints and advice what you have to do. This is based on the method of Exquisite Corpse. (Constraint is the structure)

Structures

The bot chooses randomly on which structure the user has to write the poem.

POSSIBLE STRUCTURES:

  • ADJECTIVE NOUN ADVERB VERB ADJECTIVE NOUN
  • PRONOUN VERB NOUN
  • ADJECTIVE NOUN VERB NOUN

Why a chatbot?

  • Idea of having a dialog with a person -> inspiring
    • Orality & writing
  • experiment: different approach / interface
  • Can ask different questions
  • more personal
  • question: Does it feel more controllable / more transparent?

  • Based on the idea of exquisite corpse
  • in a alternate interplay the bot and the user give words based on a given structure
    • like ADJECTIVE NOUN ADVERB VERB ADJECTIVE NOUN
