Monica Monin PhD Documentation by Monica Monin

This practice-based research project generates artistic practices that critically engage with machine learning, to enact and enable process-oriented modes of creative coding. It offers a creative coding practice that encounters the complex relations and temporalities of code’s processuality, where everything – data, algorithms, subroutines, code modules, models, coders and more – are actively co-composing and continuously generating.

This 3D recreation of Conversation Theory was modelled to offer a perspective of what it was like to be in the middle of the conversaition between the two processes. I recommend viewing at full screen.

A section of the code to query ConceptNet's API and compile sentences was based upon code originally by Allison Parrish (https://github.com/aparrish/nanogenmo2014), this code has been modified and updated.
