Neural Fluxus

Fluxus Scores Generated by Tensorflow

What are these supposed to be?

They are fluxus event scores; brief instructions for performance art. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxus#Event_score

These particular event scores were created by training a predictive recurrent neural network on the Fluxus Performance Workbook. ~5000 lines of output were then generated (about the length of the workbook itself), most of which was gibberish. These scores were selected as the most performable examples from out of that gibberish, and many were lightly edited to correct spelling or grammar. The titles remain unaltered. The first score, Solo, is my favorite, and required no editing at all.

Technical notes:

I used an off-the-shelf RNN, did no tuning, used very little training data, and accepted the output as soon as it was remotely readable. I am not a deep learning expert; I just picked the good bits. Most of the output looked more like this:
