Last summer, two professors at Dartmouth College proposed an imaginative variation: the Turing Tests in Creative Arts, challenging participants to submit algorithms that can generate human-quality art. "Specifically," Dan Rockmore (a professor of math and computer science) and Michael Casey (a professor of music and computer science) write in an essay that discusses the project, "we ask if machines are capable of generating sonnets, short stories, or dance music that is indistinguishable from human-generated works, though perhaps not yet so advanced as Shakespeare, O. Henry or Daft Punk." The competition has three parts: DigiLit, where the test is creating a New Yorker-level short story; PoetiX, where the product must be a 14-line sonnet in iambic pentameter; and AlgoRhythms, where the computer has to create a 15-minute dance set. In all cases, the software will be given a "seed" - a verbal image in the literary contest and a single track of music for the dance. Organizers will mix the entries in with human-generated work.
