Special Issue 5: OuNuPo, Ouvroir de Numérisation Potentielle
Project Description
Main partner: WORM (WORM's Pirate Bay to be precise)
Special guests: Manetta Berends and Cristina Cochior (Algolit group)
The outcome of the special issue will be the following things:
- 2 book scanners (one to stay at XPUB, one to stay at WORM)
- one unique (as in unique copy) reader in the form of an artist's book.
The reader will be a collection of texts curated by students and staff
on the topic of book scanner, text mobility, constraint writing, algorithmic literature, and I also hope the culture and politics of OCR, text analysis, AI in the context of text processing and generation.
- a collection of different software back-ends for the book scanner, so
as to reconfigure its functionality, ie you might scan a book, and get
a pdf, the content of which has been manipulated in poetical or critical way, or you could also get something else entirely, a sound file, an collection of images, etc.
- a gigantic collection of files produced by combining the reader as
input source into the scanner making use of the plethora of
different back-ends. IMPORTANT: the reader will never exist as a typical digital alter-ego of the analog original but only through a multitude of different digital interpretations.
- an evening launch at WORM with presentation of the reader, back-ends,
results, etc.
Sessions
- The Alphabet as Software - R&W
- 15.01.2018 Optical character recognition
- 18.01.2018 OuLi/NuPo, natural language processing
