about

A free pdf (included as a bonus item after you download the audio, which is simply a minute of silence) of A.I. generated texts I derived from the Oblique Strategies card deck by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt. I took each Oblique Strategies instruction and fed it as a prompt into two different auto text-generation models, EleutherAI and DeepAI, and each model triggered texts in response. Juxtaposed with the original Oblique Strategy, the results constitute a kind of surrealist, virtual automatic writing, more like poetry than something intended to guide the recording process as the cards were meant to do. They’re admittedly somewhat subversive, albeit in an intriguing way; but at the same time, the A.I. Oblique Strategies also parallel the generative music pioneered by Eno, only using text rather than audio.
