A Throw of the Dice Will Never Abolish Chance
Athrowofthedicewillneverabolishchance.com, 2015-2018, explores the artistic legacy of Stephane Mallarme's 1897 poem "Un Coup de Des Jamais N'Abolira' le Hasard" through Google's reCaptcha program. As the reCaptchas are indecipherable by OCR, 'A throw' generates poetry for non-human readers-a metaphysical search for meaning by the kinds of Artificial Intelligence programs currently in development by corporations such as Google.
