versus.exe

​versus.exe is a live performance where humans and machines take turns trying to write the better poem. You vote. The winner gets to train the loser.

​This is a battle, or a duet — depends how you look at it. You don’t have to stay the whole time. Swing by anytime between 4:30 and 6:30, watch a round or two, cast a vote, say hi.

​The question underneath all this is simple: What makes poetry good? Who decides? And can a machine be taught beauty or just pattern? Come hang. Help train a poet. Or an algorithm. Or both.
