UVa Puzzle Poetry Symposium: Puzzles, Bots, and Poems

Hosted by the UVa Puzzle Poetry Group (http://puzzlepoesis.org, https://www.instagram.com/puzzlepoesis/), this symposium brings together poets, art historians, literary critics, computer scientists, and digital humanists in a wide-ranging discussion of the generation of language, the making and breaking of rules, the poetics of resistance, and the mechanics of creativity. The event aims to develop common concerns in a variety of disciplines and put U.Va.'s Puzzle Poetry group into a larger conversation with colleagues across the College, including those in Art, Architecture, Creative Writing, and Engineering.

In collaboration with the Scholars' Lab, the event will include a workshop (a "design jam") organized by an expert guest (TBA).
