a.l.p.h.a is an interactive installation in which an A.I. generates poems based on the visitor’s appearance. This is done using computer vision and machine learning algorithms such as pose, object, and gender recognition.

To engage with the system the visitors are encouraged to step into a.l.p.h.a’s field of vision. To further influence the generated text the visitors can choose an item from a collection of objects. This data is then sent to the natural language model GPT-3 to generate the personalized poem and is subsequently printed for the visitors to take home.
