The Google LED Interactive Wall turns what you say into a poem

Curiosity newspaper Google launched an interactive wall in Britain that could turn some random words into poetry. Later, these poems will be displayed on an electronic billboard in northern london.

This device called Poetrics, consisting of 17 LED panel and the panel on the microphone, retrieval technology and voice platform using the voice of Google, to identify the work on the microphone said passers-by, and then put these words into a new poetry. It was placed at King's Cross station, near Google, in the new headquarters of england.

Poetrics

The project worked with the central Saint Martin Institute at University of the Arts in London, designed by several students, including LauraVenturaRicart, YunqiCai and EmilyKimura.

"We saw that Poetrics provided a meaningful collective opportunity for people to play an absurd game of words," Ricart, a graduate student, told an overseas media interview. It's like the "delicate corpse" created by dada in their surreal game."

The Google seems to be quite satisfied with the project. "Thousands of people visit our Kings Cross station every day, which gives us the inspiration to design a collective event," PeterBarron, who is in charge of publicity and public affairs, said in an interview. We love the works that students bring."

Say, Google and poetry between, but also fate is not shallow. A few years ago, the domestic Internet has been popular on the Google translation Tucao, users are happy to translate Google translated out of the ancient poetry on the Internet, the recognition of the English results of all kinds of ridicule. At that time, Google translator FranzOch also responded specifically, saying, "users are not advised to use Machine Translation poetry."." Later, a group called "googlepoems" appeared on Reddit, and the members declared, "Google is a poet."." The evidence is that when you type a word in the Google search column, the search bar pops up a bunch of search suggestions, and sometimes they form a poem with a long meaning.

Two poems of Google

The idea is really interesting, and it looks very popular. However, as for the quality of poetry, this is really a bit hard to say.
