Part reading, part writing improvisation, this collaborative workshop performance explores the liberating potential of the computer as co-writer. What began as an experiment in statistical machine translation has evolved to include other forms of interaction between writer-performer and machine. At the decentered center of the piece is a play-originally written in Finnish-about three young artists, whose communication issues revolve around three seemingly simple objects: a pint, a cellphone, and a toothbrush.
