Learning Description:
Cangjie’s Poetry is an interactive art installation that provides a conceptual response to the semantic human-machine reality. In the Cangjie’s Poetry art installation, an intelligent system constantly observes the surroundings through the lens of a camera, writes poetry using a symbolic system based on its interpretation of the surroundings, and explains the evolving poem in natural language to audiences in real-time. This work prioritizes the ambiguity and tension between machinic vision and human perception, the actual and the virtual, past and present.
