From Dada to Java (2016)
Video, 12’48’’In collaboration with Victor Loux, Sophie Skach, and Zhou Tang
A short documentary about generative poetry & Twitter bots.
“Is the Twitter bot a new literary form? It’s a question that has been floating around for a while. In From Dada to Java: conversations about generative poetry & Twitter bots, Sophie Skach, Betül Aksu, Victor Loux, and Zhou Tang speak to artists and theorists about how generative works can sit side by side with literature’s greats. Coming as a continuation from avant-garde practices such as Dada and Oulipo, the bot lives comfortably in randomness and offers a chance to value the computer’s art as a product in and of itself.” Decorating Dissidence
