resurrection 2.0
‘resurrection' is Vincent A. Cellucci’s _living mural [reaching for] an infinite poem; _data collection to compare human and machine-generated ‘rhymes’
Outline
'resurrection' is:
_ a living mural [reaching for] an infinite poem
_relies on the poetic technique of anaphora, often used in litany for religious purposes
_scientific research, data collection to statistically and semantically compare human and machine-generated ‘rhymes’
_reveals the exponentiality of human wordplay and the limits of LLMs
_a supplication for something more than mortality
n.b._‘one more’ is regularly shouted in new orleans jazz clubs, a plea for an encore
