City as Text: poetry session

Edward and Jesse have taken photographs at four (4) sites on four dates in 2023: (1) Times Square, NY, NY, USA; (2) Central Park, NY, NY, USA; (3) Picadilly Circus, London, UK; and (4) London Bridge, London, UK. Following, we have utilized generative A.I., to generate poetic responses to the photographs taken. Next, we have created our own poetry from the A.I.-generated poetry; Edward has created their own poetry from the A.I.-generated poetic responses to Jesse’s USA photographs, and Jesse has created his own poetry from the A.I.-generated poetic responses to Edward’s UK photographs. After, we have compiled our respective poetry into one unified poem tentatively titled “City.” The intent is for a mosaic effect reconstructing the
representations of the four above ecosystems that comprise “City,” wherein the four above sites across the two cities unite. Finally, we have utilized generative A.I., to generate images of the reconstructed “City.”
