ABSTRACT
ReadingRites are human + A.I. participatory poetry readings. Poets and audience members read onscreen poetry written by artificial intelligence (A.I.). They read at the rate that the machine writes, -- which is sometimes very fast, and often confusing. Venues upcoming in 2019 include Beinecke Library at Yale University and the Barbican in London. ReadingRites was premiered at Brown University's Interrupt Festival on Feb 8th 2019. At each venue, local participants join digital-poet Jhave in reading rapid A.I.-generated text, -- playing their wits and voices against an evocative infinite deep-learning muse.
