From Song to Silicon

2026. 18 x 23” open, 3 signatures sewn book. Hand lettered in ink and acrylic on Hark Handmade Paper, MacGregor paper, woven Tyvek, polyester, linen thread. Drop spine box. I confess, AI is a scary marvel. I needed to make a book that included AI generated content, binary code and words about language. Too timid to play with AI, I asked my daughter Justine, to be my AI invoker. She used Gemini which became an even scarier marvel as it made a poem that wasn’t bad and then it critiqued Justine’s poem. I will explore AI but writing with pen, brush and ink is too much of a hand, eye pleasure for me to give up. The future has become more unimaginable than ever.
