new work from me in the ISEA 2020 Art Programme: Reconstructions https://reconstructions.decontextualize.com an infinite computer-generated poem with a nested chiastic structure

the lines are generated by sampling a variational autoencoder (https://github.com/aparrish/vae-lagging-encoder/) trained on a bunch of public domain poetry (https://github.com/aparrish/gutenberg-poetry-corpus). each line is paired with another resulting from the model's reconstruction of the original line with words reversed
