Information on the Roussel-Machine text-AI

See here on artistic research on language and space, and it’s AI development as well as it’s application development.

To access the algorithm of the Roussel-Machine we have developed different interfaces: For reading=writing by an individual. For the interaction of a crowd, where reading=writing is physically acted out in a jointly generated political space.
