Poem Booth

The AI Poetry machine that turns portraits into poems

The Poem Booth is an interactive art installation that brings poetry into the digital age. Combining cutting-edge AI technology with the timeless art of poetry, the Poem Booth captures moments through the lens of language.

The initiative seeks to find innovative ways to broaden access to local writers and motivate more people to engage with reading and writing. To do this, the booth leverages the existing body of work and input from writers coupled with advanced language models such as ChatGPT.

A personal poem for everyone

The Poem Booth invites participants to step into a world where technology meets poetry. Visitors interact with the booth by pressing the button and having their photograph taken, which is then analysed by advanced AI technology. This AI, equipped with language models like ChatGPT, interprets the image to create a personalised poem, reflecting the captured moment in poetic form.

Enhancing Access to Poetry

Our aim is to democratise the poetry experience. The Poem Booth uses cutting-edge technology to make poetry accessible and engaging to everyone, encouraging a broader appreciation and engagement with literature by embedding it within everyday experiences.

Cultivating physical experiences

The Poem Booth brings the digital world into the physical world. VOUW believes physical installations bring people together and will create stronger memories than a digital equivalent. This is what we call Slowtech, technology that actively enhances human values.

Sharing Your Unique 'Picture Poem'

Each Poem Booth interaction results in a unique blend of your image and personalised verse, which you can instantly share via a QR code. This feature not only enhances the interactive experience but also spreads the love of poetry digitally, connecting more people to the art of verse through modern technology.

Art Nouveau meets AI

Drawing inspiration from the elegant curves and natural forms of Art Nouveau, the Poem Booth blends historical art styles with modern technology. This design philosophy not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the booth but also pays homage to a pivotal movement in art history, celebrating the harmony between nature, art, and society.
