Artist's Project Description
This generative token is based on a project I originally coded in late 2014, possibly my first creative project in JavaScript during graduate school at NYU ITP, which has run here since then: https://rossgoodwin.com/clock The text in this case is not generated, but rather (legally) snipped from public domain e-books on Project Gutenberg (https://gutenberg.org/), and recontextualized as a real-time clock. The editions vary in color palette and font choice, each with unique text for every minute determined by the clock's unique hash. For nearly all word/phrase blocks in the template system, there exist 512 possible excerpts you could receive, and countless possible combinations thereof. Additionally, 16 possible color palettes, 8 possible fonts, and many bezel types will determine your clock's visual appearance. Unlike my original 2014 iteration, I wrote this clock in Vanilla JS with zero dependencies. (Largely, that's thanks to eight additional years of programming experience.) As a result, it's faster (once loaded) and more responsive as well. ABOUT THE CREATOR Ross Goodwin is an artist, creative technologist, and former White House ghostwriter. He employs machine learning, natural language processing, and other computational tools to realize new forms and interfaces for written language. From word.camera, a camera that expressively narrates its photographs in real time using artificial neural networks, to SUNSPRING (with Oscar Sharp, starring Thomas Middleditch), the world's first film created from an AI-written screenplay; from making London’s Trafalgar Square lions roar poetry (“Please Feed The Lions” with Es Devlin), to writing a novel with a car (1 the Road), Goodwin’s projects and collaborations have earned international attention. Winner of the 2018 IDFA DocLab Award for Digital Storytelling as well as Columbia University's Digital Dozen Breakthroughs in Storytelling Award for 2019, he earned his undergraduate degree in Economics from MIT in 2009, and his graduate degree from NYU ITP in 2016. rossgoodwin.com P.S. As a way to say thank you to folks who have collected my work so far on fx(hash), I've set aside 1/4 of these editions in reserve for you. It's already clear to me that fx(hash) has an incredible community behind it, and I'm thrilled to be releasing my work on here.
