‘/i am not a robot.’ is a Dadaesque poetry book created by a machine, taking the human processor out of the loop. It uses python script and algorithmic text libraries to curate a broad selection of randomized poems. These poems are based on personal crying texts; a compilation of old journals and manifestations. The result is an interpretation of these texts through the emotionally sober eyes of the machine, adopting an absurdist outlook and exploring a somewhat literary translation to the act of crying.
