"16 people write to each other but think they are writing to a computer", 2007
Dynamic Media | Prof. Christian Moeller
Custom software that acts like a chat client was sent out to 16 selected participants. When the application is launched the participant is presented with a small collection of words and are asked to respond to the words with the first sentences that come to mind. Behind the scenes the software is busy filtering the response and uploading it to a weblog on the internet, and then retrieving the next response to show to the participant. Messages are filtered by subtracting the 300 most common words used in the English language. This filtered version of the entered text is used only to prompt the next participant while the untreated text is posted to the weblog in the order that it is received.
