Dual mapping system: from neural inscription to arboreal archive

Part of The Sensuality of Data — PhD research by Ami Podrebarac · 0wlpoetry.com

Dual mapping system: EEG to trees to RNN poetry Interactive diagram showing how EEG brain data and London tree mapping form two archives that feed into a recurrent neural network to generate poetry, which is then read back to the trees. INTERNAL ARCHIVE EEG + writing 4 sessions × 4 hours spike spike Word fragments "displaced" "root" "still" ... EXTERNAL ARCHIVE London tree walks 700+ non-native trees "root" "still" "glass" Tree ← word fragment words assigned to trees CONVERGENCE RNN (textgenrnn) Char-level LSTM, 128 cells × 2 layers RNN₁ RNN₀ Generated poetry t=0.7 coherent t=1.2 drifting t=1.5 collapse poetry read to trees Book 0 Book 1 0wlpoetry.com ↗
