New Year
I haven’t posted in a long time, but I have made it a resolution to start putting work here again. I am going to try documenting my work from the last quarter of 2011 in the first weeks of this year in order to hopefully better understand where I am.

Our world hangs like a magnificent jewel in the vastness of space. Every one of us is a part of that jewel. A facet of that jewel. And in the perspective of infinity, our differences are infinitesimal. We are intimately related. May we never even pretend that we are not.

This week I created a self portrait in Processing for my Creative Algorithms course. Drawing in code is like no other drawing experience I have ever had. I was forced to think much more methodically about how to approach the final piece of work.
I would like to share my code for the final product, you can check it on the open processing site:

The Infinite Adventure Machine
David Benqué’s Infinite Adventure Machine creates random folk-tales, and is itself an adventure in what he describes as an unsolved computer science problem: automatic story generation.
Tales and myths; the core narratives of human culture, have been transmitted for generations through various technologies and media. What new forms might they take through digital formats and Artificial Intelligence?
Based on the work of Vladimir Propp, who reduced the structure of russian folk-tales to 31 basic functions, TIAM aims to question the limitations and implications of attempts at programming language and narrative.
Because the program is unable to deliver a finished story, rather only a crude synopsis and illustrations, users have to improvise, filling the gaps with their imagination and making up for the technology’s shortcomings.
Wikipedia’s article on Propp has a lengthy description of his typology of narrative structures.
I’ve always been fascinated by the subtle movement these devices make, whereby a description of universal narrative elements is turned into a prescription for writing new stories. Every few years there seems to be another bestseller book, for example, telling you how to succeed in Hollywood using Jungian archetypes and Joseph Campbell. But I love these random generators all the same (and make my own). The bite-size mind-meld between culture and software they embody has a strange magic to it.
