Join us in this half day workshop, where we make movement based poetry with friends. Recently, poetry has become entwined with modern technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning. Computers can now help us create beautiful and funny poetry. In this workshop, we will explore how to create simple poems and visual compositions with machine learning through body tracking. How will your body influence the poem?
First, you will be introduced to p5.js and basic coding structures. Then, we will dive into the usage of artificial intelligence in the arts and introduce you to Teachable Machines and Posenet. After this, it is time to get creative! You will have all the tools to work on your own artwork - in groups or individually.
