Abstract or Description

Data Happenings: A maker workshop exploring data driven text, code and sound from the network
By Helen Pritchard x Winnie Soon

數據藝術「聲」「字」「碼」工作坊
海倫．派查德 x 孫詠怡

Networked texts are unpredictable, amazing and endless, distributed across an assemblage human and non-human writers. In this workshop, drawing on the history of rule-based writing, we will explore the potential for generative devices to enable new forms of collaboration with unpredictable outcomes. Using procedure based methods we will scrape, copy and paste texts from social media. We will then convert these texts to speech and create a collective generative sound work. If you have access to a laptop + headphones, please bring it in. Previous to the workshop please make sure you downloaded and/or installed ‘Audacity’.
