Ok, maybe my english translation is far from perfect, but if you are here probably your italian is worst than my english...

IL SOGNO DI ELIZA: the project.

It is possible for a computer to write a story?
Computer just execute programs. Computer do not write story. Maybe.

The Eliza’s dream is a project of digital storytelling trough the computer

This project come from the question: it is possible for a computer to write stories?
Apparently today the cyberpunk literature investigates about the man-machine interaction, but even this literature is generated outside this relationship.
We write on cyberpunk, but we do not write a là cyberpunk.


Creativity ex-machina? The personal computer superseded the typewriter, but the approach remains the same.

I was fascinated from creative interaction with the machine, to define and analyse narrative structure, to generate ideas, to characterise characters. I used programs. Some are old friends from the mid seventies, some other were written by me ad hoc. I dialogued with artificial intelligence.

I decided to write a story where there is no computer. Too easy otherwise. I wanted to obtain a common horror story, like thousand others you can find in supermarket. The Eliza’s dream is just the story of young guy paralised in a hotel room.

The final Turing test.

A last thought. Some of the software are research efforts, or hobby work. Other are commercial product, already used to generate the huge quantity of telefilm, documentary, meteo forecast.
Maybe the political and social news too.

There is no need to rewrite the past, when you can generate so easily and massively the present.

IL SOGNO DI ELIZA: the book.

A city dying in toxic waste
Insect everywhere coming from the walls
Endless television nightmares
A young guy paralysed
Hidden in a hotel room
With a chrome plated gun…
