Date: Friday June 27th 2025
Venue: Watershed (W3)
Time: 10:00 – 14:00
Price: FREE (advance booking essential)
Lyra’s project ‘Page Against the Machine: AI and Poetry’, funded by Brigstow Institute, has been pairing public poets and technologists together to create new work responding to the research question: ‘How can poetic writing produced by, or with, AI accurately model human voice, narrative and place-based experience?’, exploring the ethical and creative dilemmas of our time.
This event will include presentations of research and poems from four poet/technologist pairs: Shakara and Vince Baidoo, Deanna Rodger and Michael Marcinkowski, Raina Greifer and Francesco Bentivegna, Ralph Hoyte and Matthew Olden, as well as the project’s lead researcher Caleb Parkin.
Everyone is welcome to attend this free event (advance booking essential) and to join the conversation around AI, poetry and creativity in a relaxed, fun and friendly environment.
Presented by Lyra Bristol Poetry, in partnership with Brigstow Institute.
