Mixing live performance with algorithms and interfaces, A Piece of Work is the second project in Annie Dorsen’s “algorithmic theater” series. A digital Hamlet for a post-humanist age, A Piece of Work deploys a set of ingeniously designed computer algorithms to generate real-time adaptations of Shakespeare’s original play. New scenes, songs, scores and visuals emerge from an intricate web of technology. With an introduction by Dorsen, and screen-shots of the system as it runs, this book elaborates both the technological and the poetic procedures of algorithmic theater.

Annie Dorsen is a director and writer, whose works explore the intersection of algorithms and live performance.

将现场表演与算法和界面相结合，《一件作品》是安妮-多森的 “算法剧场 “系列的第二个项目。作为后人文主义时代的数字哈姆雷特，”一件作品 “部署了一套巧妙设计的计算机算法来生成对莎士比亚原剧的实时改编。新的场景、歌曲、乐谱和视觉效果从一个复杂的技术网络中出现。通过多森的介绍和系统运行时的屏幕截图，本书阐述了算法戏剧的技术和诗意程序。

安妮-多森是一位导演和作家，她的作品探索了算法和现场表演的交叉点。
