Mukaan lukien - Fundamentals of Contemporary Poetry

The national Mukaan lukien poetry series discussion event. The topics are the internet and artificial intelligence as environments for writing and researching poetry.

The Poesia Cooperative and the University of Jyväskylä's writing program are organizing a half-day event in collaboration, which offers an opportunity to hear the thoughts of writers and researchers on the impact of the internet, artificial intelligence, and other the most influential technologies of the moment on fieldwork. In the relaxed discussion meeting aimed at professionals, it is possible to exchange tips, share views, and network with those interested in the topic. During the afternoon, new technologies are approached with curiosity but also critically. How does an AI-shaped environment affect writing and research? What tools to use, what to stay away from? Is the human being created as a technological being? Is the internet already dead according to theory, and if so, how to behave in the cemetery where a third of the traffic is bots? What forms of poetry sprout from the current situation, in what light does literary history appear? How to customize a writer's own technology relationship? The event is supported by the Kone Foundation. Afternoon program: 🟣 13–15.00 Discussion event of Poesia's national Mukaan lukien ("Including") series. Jyväskylä City Library.
