2003 Rockefeller New Media Foundation Proposal

Author
Feingold, Ken
Abstract
This project will take as its primary point of departure my most recent works in
which artificially "intelligent", computerdriven lifelike silicone heads are engaged in
improvisational conversations. The conversations which they carry on are neither
completely scripted, nor are they random; rather, the software I have written gives
each a "personality", a vocabulary, associative habits, obsessions, and other
peculiarities, which make their conversations quirky, surprising, and often startling.
They also intend to raise questions about computer intelligence and intelligence (and
consciousness) itself.
