William C. Williams - Landscape With The Fall of Icarus

According to Brueghel


when Icarus fell


it was spring



a farmer was ploughing


his field


the whole pageantry



of the year was


awake tingling


near



the edge of the sea


concerned


with itself



sweating in the sun


that melted


the wings' wax



unsignificantly


off the coast


there was



a splash quite unnoticed


this was


Icarus drowning

Pieter Bruegel - Paisagem com a queda de Ícaro


É aparentemente consensual que o quadro não é de Bruegel mas sim uma boa cópia de um original de Bruegel feita pouco depois de ele o ter pintado. Dizem os peritos. Inspirou um poema de William Carlos Williams que vem num post já a seguir e resume, como o quadro, a nossa natural indiferença humana em relação ao destino dos mitos.

Da criatividade automatizada.

Vivemos aqui num canto pequeno da Europa mas também já temos a nossa Big Data, nomeadamente sobre o que os clientes/espectadores/utilizadores vêem, lêem, clicam. Se o que se passa do outro lado do Atlântico é medida das coisas, o futuro (ou parte dele) pode ser... estranho. Que é a função do futuro.


De um artigo chamado ""House of Cards" and Our Future of Algorithmic Programming":



Will screenplays some day be written to meet the whims of data-driven media streaming companies? Will an algorithm...

Mark Strand - Lines for Winter

tell yourself
as it gets cold and gray falls from the air
that you will go on
walking, hearing
the same tune no matter where
you find yourself—
inside the dome of dark
or under the cracking white
of the moon's gaze in a valley of snow.
tonight as it gets cold
tell yourself
what you know which is nothing
but the tune your bones play
as you keep going. and you will be able
