Poetry meets AI as poet Marcos de la Fuente interacts with a machine learning model — a digital twin — built by engineer Ismael Faro. The images are generated in real-time and will “investigate the distance of the algorithm with the poet and travel new paths for oral poetry and artistic creation.” The bilingual Spanish-English performance also features the electronic music of sound architect and producer Alec Ekvall.
