computer generated poem

Description (in English)

“Dial” is a new collaboration by Lai-Tze Fan and Nick Montfort, a generative emoji-embedded poem representing networked, distant communication.

Two voices are isolated from one another, yet connected by the passing of time over changing seasons. The work is both a dialogue and a representation of monologue over time; time itself can be adjusted using the dials, by clicking the clocks at the bottom of the project.
