Automated Writing Workshop

2023

At the Digital Doppelgangers workshop held by Data & Society, we (me and Daniela K. Rosner) led an interactive session exploring the self through automatic writing and AI-generated text. Participants engaged in a structured exercise of automatic writing, channeling their thoughts freely onto the page. These texts were then used as prompts for a large language model, producing an uncanny effect—a stream of consciousness that was both familiar and strange, intertwining personal reflections with the voices of anonymous multitudes.

This was the third of a series of four workshops.

Automatic writing of the medium Leonora Piper alleged to be from the spirit Richard Hodgson.
