I was too afraid
heated by the assault without consent
the serious cut
the bedroom facts Furious

I am the media,
he is not my boss
but the words,
first fear my boy.

A-SIDE: Machine Learning Elegy for Christine Margaret Blasey Ford from Her Written Testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee
Poem
2019

This text along with the B-SIDE were published by The Hoosac Institute Journal in 2019. We trained text-generating neural networks on the transcript from Christine Blasey Ford’s testimonial letter outlining her experiences of sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, as well as the transcript of Brett Kavanaugh’s verbal testimony to the Supreme Court Judiciary committee arguing against Christine Blasey Ford’s claims. The neural networks create their own new texts, pulling from the patterns and vernacular of the original source material – and we redact them into poems and then later manipulate them even more to produce experimental songs.

Although we typically use these texts to generate song lyrics, we thought that these two should also exist as texts independent of other media.
