Channel: NeMe
Date: 2023-05-12

APOapikioPIISI, a word-play between the Greek words "decolonisation" and "poetry", is an artistic investigation on the topics of colonialism/decolonisation in Cyprus, in both historical and digital context. It is concerned with the compilation of a community-created dataset of written Cypriot Greek (CyGr), and the subsequent publication of a poetry collection, through the collaboration of 9 writers with a custom-trained Natural Language Processing (NLP) AI model. This presentation provided an overview of the project's process, challenges, and results, from consenting data collection practices, to co-authoring poetry with the CyGr NLP model.
