Siblings are finally united!

What is writing and reading in the time of AI?

It is indeed a bizarre myth. Pygmalion teaches us about the human umwelt and our intense relationality with the nonhuman.

Mindblowing that the Pygmalion myth has become one of the central problems in future. Read Artificial Humanities that introduces fiction to the world of AI!

AI has stepped between writers and readers and altered the process.

What is actually going on on the ground and how do we describe it with the vocabulary and the tools we have? Should we change our conceptions of literary writing and creativity?

We’ll discuss this with the electronic poet and electronic lit scholar, experimental writer and theorist of AI, and Hollywood screenwriter.
