Description

Sam Riviere's latest work harnesses anxiety about AI to produce poems that cohere around a voice speaking of humanity's uncertainties, fears and desires. By using an open source neural network, Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2 (GPT-2), he strips away the usual authorial clutter to reveal a unique poetic voice.

The result is a poetic revolution for our time, as Riviere turns poetry towards machine language. His 'machine language' often has a clunky, unplugged quality that reboots our perceptual apparatus and forces us to look at machines in a new light.
