I am a former artificial intelligence philosopher. As much as academia is for me a PhD was not. These days I am using my past experience in poetry and AI writing to create concrete poetry.

You can see all of my/the computer's work at http://exampleurl.xyz -
The "quarterly reports" are PDFs of every concrete poem of mine posted online in the three months stated.

I post concrete poems on Masto (and birdsite) every Thursday using the hashtag #concretepoetry in the fediverse.

apparently there's not a good method of selecting objects in vector graphics and reversing their z-space. I guess I can understand why, it is a kind of four-color map / traveling salesman problem.
But I am getting a feeling of "I should be doing my homework instead of this" while I try to noodle this out.

I previously put out a chapbook of dot-to-dot versions of Richard Brautigan poems, available on the website:

there was a submission call I was thinking about so I busted out the different "connect the dots" algos I have, playing around, getting ideas.
