“Each day in 2009, I asked every person with whom I had a meaningful encounter to submit a record of this meeting through an online survey. These reports form the heart of the 2009 Annual Report. From parents to old friends, to people I met for the first time, to my dentist… any time I felt that someone had discerned enough of my personality and activities, they were given a card with a URL and unique number to record their experience.”
“auto suggestion is a screen based, real-time visualization of the processing of a database of paintings. The work incorporates the full text of Baudelaire’s one surviving notebook “Journaux Intimes”1, 65 hi-resolution scans of paintings that I made during the decade 1989-1999 (at which point I stopped making paintings) …The system takes as its seed Baudelaires prose and runs it through text analysis in turn determining the selection of various areas of color and shape, then recombines them in infinite variations and iterations.”
“The Dadameter is a tool for the profiling of language at large scale and the historical tracking of artistic and literary movements. It brings about a new alliance between art, science and global finance.
We use up-to-date 2.0 trend analysis and data visualization technologies, neural networks, graph theory or quantitative structural linguistics in order to be able to predict the next artistic craze.”
Christophe Bruno (2002 – 2008)

“Diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) … uses magnetic resonance signals to track the movement of water molecules in the brain: water diffuses along the length of neural wires, called axons. Scientists can use these diffusion measurements to map the wires, creating a detailed blueprint of the brain’s connectivity.”
“To accurately approach research on a project exploring the progression and cadence of American poet, E.E. Cummings’ 1944 collection, “I X I,” it became clear that one of the few seemingly appropriate ways to “analyze” a poet whose core relation is a belief in love and feeling over thought, would be to create a mode through which I could explore his poetry that would remain true to the poet’s writing.”
