Information

At this event Pip Thornton and Evan Morgan, the minds behind Machine Whispers, and poet and translator Rachel Rankin will come together to discuss and debate AI’s role in translation. Are machines capable of translating human communication, let alone poetry? How has this new technology challenged and changed the field of translation?

Dr Rachel Rankin’s PhD thesis illustrated the debate surrounding poetic (un)translatability and Dr Pip Thornton is a Chancellor’s Fellow in Geosciences at the University of Edinburgh. Her most recent installation, the Lex 9000 automatic writing machine, was launched at Edinburgh International Book Festival. Evan is a research software engineer in the Institute for Design Informatics at the University of Edinburgh.

Supported by Design Informatics and Edinburgh Futures Institute
