Introducing The AI Reading Machine That Reconstructs Books As Illustrated Haikus

The dynamic design duo of Karen Ann Donnachie and Andy Simionato are set to receive the Tokyo Type Directors Club award for their AI reading machine project – a machine that essentially transforms books into short Haikus accompanied by related images. It does this by using computer vision and optical character recognition to'read' books. Then with machine learning and natural language processing, it selects a poetic combination of words while erasing the rest to form an artsy-looking Haiku. While doing this, the reading machine also using Google to search up images that relate to said words. Donnachie and Simionato have released a series of books that we know and love with a slight twist.
