The Computational Scrawl 12.03.2019
The members of Algolit are very happy to invite Allison Parrish for a workshop in the framework of the exhibition Data Workers. The evening before she will give a talk in Passa Porta. This two-part workshop examines the physical gesture and material artifacts of the act of writing, as seen through the lens of computation […]
About automatic writing and autocomplete: the poetics of technology 12.03.2019
Writing and reading are no longer the exclusive right of the paper. For most authors, their practice is intimately intertwined with software and a networked infrastructure. What does it mean to consciously include this technological context in the literary creation process? How does the use of code - active or passive - change the notion […]

The Perceptron 24.01.2019
In machine learning, the perceptron is an algorithm for supervised learning of binary classifiers. A binary classifier is a model which can decide whether an input belongs to some specific class. Neural Networks work the same way as the perceptron. Perceptron is a single layer neural network and a multi-layer perceptron is called Neural Networks. […]
Algoliterary Podcasts - change of program & place! 10.01.2019

The internet is dead, long live the internets! In 2025, the internet will consist of either gated communities or decentralised independent instances. For those who want to be connected while choosing their own dependencies, there is no other option than to draw up new networks and experiment with both historical and innovative protocols. Networks with […]
