[Purple-Blurb] Daniel Howe tomorrow on text.curtain & computational writing

[Nick Montfort]

Purple Blurb is proud to host Daniel C. Howe at our last meeting of the 
Spring semester.

Daniel C. Howe is a digital artist and researcher at NYU's Media Research 
Lab where he is currently completing his PhD thesis on generative literary 
systems. His recent projects include the ALTK, a software toolkit for 
affective language generation; the Bisociation Engine, an 
interdisciplinary attempt to model aspects of human creativity in software 
(with Bill Seaman), and TrackMeNot, an artware intervention addressing 
surreptitious data-profiling on the web (with Helen Nissenbaum). In 
addition to a background in sound and visual arts, Daniel has masters 
degrees in Literary Arts (Brown) and Interactive Media (ITP).

Of late, Daniel has been teaching a class at the Rhode Island School of 
Design and Brown, Programming for Digital Art & Literature. I hope you'll 
join me to hear about Daniel's work and perhaps some about this intriguing 
class.

Purple Blurb is 6-7pm tomorrow (Tuesday) in 14N-233.
