Research

AADHum continues to deepen its commitments to broadening the landscape of Black digital humanities, while also highlighting the numerous places where Black DH intersects with electronic literature, digital storytelling, computational poetics, and public humanities more generally. Through our own boundary-pushing research collaborations with leading scholars in the arts and humanities, AADHum serves as a vibrant center for Black DH research both in the greater Washington, DC area as well as nationally and internationally.

This project is a collaborative work with a variety of artificial intelligences I did not create. Beginning with <> which provided 14 unique words, I began generating hundreds of images and thousands of lines of text based on each of the 14 words using several AI generators. I selected three images or sets of text for each of the 14 words, producing a human-curated collection of AI-generated interpretations of AI-generated text. I re-present the collection here as another form of generator, both AI and human, inviting your input to generate yet another new thing. I approach this as a reflective space to consider the relations between the human and the machine/computer/ai.
