“According to recent statistics, in Japan, fewer children are born, because young people do not have families and strives to posterity, and this means that the nation is aging rapidly. Not surprisingly, many elderly people suffer from depression, and not less than the young people during the so-called “mid-life crisis.” To deal with the manifestation of depression, a professor of science and technology institute in Aichi prefecture, Kano Masaeshi scientist, invented a robot-baby called Babyloid , a mechanical pet.”
Babyloid, Anti-Depression Robot-Baby for the Japanese Elderly
Note: I think this might be an article about a robot, written by a bot. If you want to read an article about Babyloid that makes more sense there’s one here.

“Our technology combines a large database of structured data, a real-time feed of stats, and a large database of phrases, and algorithms to tie it all together to produce articles from two to eight paragraphs in length. The algorithms look for interesting patterns in the data to determine what to write about.”

Kiti le Step went onstage with livecoder MCLD, and this is what resulted: noisy deconstructions of dubstep’s core components, inflicted live on audiences in Strasbourg and Paris. Beats get broken, basslines get turned into feedback howls, humans and algorithms conspire against sound engineers.

“I know that lots of what’s great about reading and writing is the direct connection between reader and author, but what’s exciting me at the moment is the idea that there’s a third party in there too - machines, software, bots.”

The Autonomous Parapoetic Device by Adam Parrish is a self-contained and portable machine that generates poetry. Constantly creating new sequences of words, lines, and stanzas, the APxD promises serendipitous encounters between aleatoric (but affective) text and our experience of physical space. The text that the device generates is ephemeral: it remains on screen for only a small time, and then is replaced with a new (although algorithmically similar) text. No two interactions with the APxD are the same, leading to an endless variety of possible interpretations (is it descriptive? oracular? nonsensical?).

“Image compression algorithms tend to result in artefacts that can be beautiful. I’ve always thought it was too bad JPGs rely on the same size block so you either see the picture or the blocks. American Pixels is based on a new algorythm to produce blocks that can have different sizes - resulting in images that are startlingly real and artificial at the same time.”
