30th Century Poems

30th CENTURY POEMS is a micro mapping video installation projecting interpolation of epic poems in other alphabets than Western “language heritage” .

Since the beginning of human existence we have had communication needs. From grunts and noises to complex glyphs and icons making alphabets, we learned the ancient technology of pictographic language across cultures before any language could be speculated.

However, some of these languages have been erased by colonizers in violent ways. These days, we encounter a silent identity war propelled by search engines, and without knowing it, when we do not search, use and give intention to this ancient data we are burying identities, History and art into the vast nothingness of big data.

Denouncing the limitations of computer vision and logic- when it comes to languages other than Western and post colonized communication systems- Isabella, uses the rich graphic language of the Persian, Mesoamerican Codex, Manila manuscripts and the Casanatense Codices, to seed the algorithms to recognize datasets that have never been even seen by the machines.

Using machine learning to train a new algorithm with artistic and cultural nuances, she intends to supervise AI language simplification systems.
