from unfinishing · host Emily Anderson
Sophie Taylor is a writer and visual artist. She talks to me about a poetry collection she doesn’t want to publish. It was written by an AI text generator, and it’s called deep / FALSE! In the collection Sophie processes low-fi revenge porn. She emptied notes, police interviews, unsent emails, shopping lists, and voice memos into AI text generators. The AI learned elements of her language and created a parody of her voice to create the poems. The AI not only created fake cultural references and verse, but slowly started telling jokes and even giving advice. Sophie’s website is here: Www.mrsophie.com It includes examples of her text, audio, and visual work, as well as her radio show 'Polyfilla' on No Bounds Radio. The Aphex Twin poetry anthology to which Sophie has contributed is here: https://www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page/you-ve-got-so-many-machines-richard-an-anthology-of-aphex-twin-poetry It’s published by Broken Sleep books and is edited by Rishi Dastidar and Aaron Kent. And some things we mention in the podcast: Star and Shadow Cinema: Star and Shadow Programme; The Paper (Good Press): The Paper – Good Press — good books & more If you have a project you never finished or never made public that you'd like to talk about, email [email protected] unfinishing celebrates creative projects that never got finished, that have yet to be finished, or that never made it out into the world. I ask my guests to search their bottom drawers and the corners of their laptops to rediscover secret and incomplete schemes. unfinishing is presented by Em Anderson (@TrueBagglerag).
