Looking back on my early blog posts, I was surprised to find that many of the overarching themes I’m considering in my project have stayed constant — ideas of reading and writing with/around/through computational tools, and what these practices mean for speculative futures and future imaginaries. However, the form of the project has evolved significantly.

As I’ve settled more into the idea of an online format for my project, I’ve been thinking about the specifics of how readers would interact with it. I have a personal website, so I could easily add another page for the project. I have some experience with HTML and CSS for basic web design, but would need to learn Javascript and either jQuery or another framework like Svelte, Nuxt, or Vue in order to enable the interactive and dynamic elements.
Based on my past few weeks’ reflections, I’m coming to the conclusion that a creative piece rooted in creative writing but incorporating computational and/or interactive elements will be the most compelling form for my project as I’ve currently conceptualized it. For context for the group supervision, my concept for my project broadly centers around the question of what the practices of writing and reading look like — how they evolve — in a world that is increasingly algorithmically mediated. So far, I’m thinking that an interesting way to explore this question would be through a piece of creative writing that is both about AI and also incorporates aspects of AI/machine writing in the creative process.
